Staff were lovely, one of our rooms was fab and looked to have been recently renovated but the other was quite dated, rooms were comfortable and a great price for a great location.

Great location right in the heart of the city! It’s close to lots of shopping and restaurants. Also, close to the bus stop and tram stop. Highly recommend.

Hotel Edelweiss
Hotel was nice. Staff were friendly. Only downside was the whole hotel smelt of cheese. I understand that the restaurant is attached to the hotel but something needs improving as its not nice to smell it in your room and hallways.
