Michelin Guide
"A smart hotel set over 6 period buildings, with comfy lounges, impressive conference rooms and good facilities."
Frommer's
"The Westin makes good use of this building's grand, 19th-century facade (the building was once a bank) -- it promises real luxury and the interior easily fulfills it." Full review
Concierge
"Despite the grand surroundings, however, service is friendly and down-to-earth."
Jetsetter

"It has a central location beside government buildings... requented by political figures."
Time Out
"The rooms are distributed across three Georgian buildings and exude charm, from their hefty Georgian windows to the views of the broad streets below." Full review
Star Service
"This small, traditional four-story hotel—a series of five bricked Georgian town houses—holds plenty of old-fashioned historic charm, at least in the public areas." Full review

Room 100 is worth requesting for its spaciousness, but its hearth is merely ornamental.
Frommer's
"This traditional hotel has a wonderful sense of class that saves it from feeling stuffy." Full review

"Buswells Hotel has a homey vibe... the hotel is located in the city center near many tourist attractions, but it's still quiet." Full review

8.0
"Not so much grand as comfortable and quaint, with a matchless situation in the very heart of the city. The Aircoach stops across the road." Full review
Frommer's
"An old-school air pervades this rather traditional midpriced hotel...small but decently furnished guest rooms are modern in style." Full review

Guests with mobility problems should ask for a room on a lower floor, as the old building (actually three townhouses merged together) has many staircases.
