I have stayed here under two previous owners and I have to say the most recent (current) owner, Accor have been by far the best. Under the previous ownership, it was definitely a steer clear but not any more....

The mere presence of Accor and their level of service and professionalism is a great start.

The large open reception greets you on arrival and then continues to expand through to the bar and restaurant. The rooms are clean and comfortable and what you would expect from a 5 star hotel although I personally feel that the Pullman over the road is better )although I do have a soft soft for that hotel).

I would recommend giving this another go if you've stayed here pre Accor. If you have never stayed at the Sebel, then you won't be disappointed.
