The Orient Express is in a very transit street, had a bit noice up to midnight. The staff was excellent, they would attend to your request and needs immediately. The bathrooms are not big at all, and they lack space to put anything on. Overall I was happy to stay here for a few nights but if longer I would probably look elsewhere.

I have already planned thru other service provided

What i planned first time on the Hotels.com. The total stay with insurance was not satisfied at all. Mistakenly used Hotels.com. Tried to call your number from local number as well International seems after sale service is below standard. Similarly hotels didn't take seriously.

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and clean but could do with some renovating. Walls were very thin so it got noisy at times from people in the halls and neighbouring rooms. The location was excellent, within a 15 minute walk to all the major attractions and next to a tram stop.
