    The location is great - just a few minutes walk from Fed Square and the train station. The hotel itself is quiet, since it's not on a main street. Not much of a view, but very comfortable.

    The location was fantastic......super close to public transport, restaurants and cafes and shopping. The room was very modern and clean. Loved the comfy bed and the extra large bath towels.
