Only negative is that it is located across from a bar that was very noisy until about 4AM, however the noise wasn’t too bad with the windows shut"

I loved the candy butler; the small face clothes; the amenities on the refrigerator that is complimentary( being shown to the room; the food on the restaurant was superb( a cafe right next door; a door man; easy to navigate the hallways to the breakfast room and find the elevators; accommodated by making sure the room was nice and cozy. EVERYONE THERE IS SWEET AND AWESOME. This is my favorite hotel so far. Breakfast is included in the room price. Had a nice quiet sleep. Near the train station"

Hotel Felix

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location for seeing the city as it is close to trams, buses and main railway station. The hotel is perfectly nice, however there are major roadworks being undertaken outside the hotel at the main entrance. The works start just after 7am and finish around 5pm Monday to Friday. Not sure how long the work will continue but early in the morning the noise of the digger and other mechanical equipment can be noisy. My room faced the road."
