Overnight stay
Overnight stay.
Very tiny room. We had to share with next room for kitchen. Price is steep and they treat me like it’s hostel where we need to share kitchen.
Very slow check in process.
Bathroom is glass door and can see everything through. May be tricky if you share room with friends instead of your partner.

Would like to return soon!
A gem of a place. really enjoyed the set up with the shared spaces and the private rooms. The rooms are bright, friendly, and clean. The hotel is cheerful and fresh. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Everything was excellent during our 1 week stay. Adding a few hangers to the supply drawer would be great. Otherwise, it's not lacking in anything. The location is great, with everything in walking distance.

Great location but really an upmarket hostel.
The location is great but it really is an upmarket hostel. The rooms are very small, the bed is badly positioned for two people to get out of comfortably and the bathroom is tiny - and water pretty much goes everywhere, without a shower screen. Nice decor and friendly staff but nothing in the room - fridge, iron, toaster all in "shared areas".

Clean and basic accommodation. Rooms would benefit from better blinds that block out the light more effectively.

Great funky concept hotel
Pros: Great funky concept hotel. Rooms very modern and clean. Beds were comfortable.
Cons: not a fan of frosted glass walls on the bathroom offering zero privacy when doing your business. Bed jammed up against the window meaning you have to climb over each other to get up and down. Also constantly knocking the blinds with my feet which woke me a lot.

It had a cool hostel-y feel to it. As I was there for a short time with my kids it was good and worked for us.
