    The Journal succeeds in making you feel at "home". With the upcoming refurbishments it will be even better. I have stayed here a few times now and already booked a next stay. Enough said. Spacious rooms, superb location, great service team.

    Great location, big rooms with a great shower and even more comfy bed (and love the fact there is no carpet in the room). Rooms get cleaned every day and staff is super friendly
