The garden of the hotel itself is lovely, especially the garden cafe. But don’t be fooled. The issue is parking (do not rent a car if you stay at this hotel—it is a literal nightmare checking in); the lack of an elevator for heavy bags; the rooms being outdated; and the loud sound. We had to get earplugs and even with the multiple levels of windows closed the restaurant and bar are open until 11pm daily and loud throughout the day. We modified our plans to stay out later because there is no way to sleep before then—let alone any type of real privacy. We had to carry or bags from the parking garage near the train station. The hotel does not provide parking information before arrival and we were led to believe parking is an available on site—it’s not. There was no space to park our car temporarily during check in. My husband had to circle the block 3 times before dropping me off so I could get parking information while he continued to drive on busy streets. Then I got parking information from the hotel for the congested garage that didn’t work in one lane. My husband had to back out with cars behind him to use a lane that worked. We walked a few blocks to the hotel with our luggage on cobble stone streets (prone to destroy luggage) and then it had to be carried up flights on stairs. To only get to our room with loud music and restaurant sound immediately below our room. The hotel looks nice but is definitely not quite peaceful nor relaxing.
