"Hotel is very well situated. Staff were pleasant and helpful. It would be nice to be able to just buy coffee in the breakfast room even if you are not having breakfast i rather than having to buy one expensive cup at the bar. As with many hotels in Europe/UK and even the US, there is little room for luggage so it is frustrating having to step around luggage on the floor and we did not bring big bags. Often for two travelers, two luggage racks and room to set them up would be great. It was nice to access my Netflix when we were in the room at night. Nice lobby to socialize in if you are with friends or having a drink. All in all a good experience."
