Adored this hotel and would stay again, even with its shortcomings (listed below)! Things we LOVED - LOCATION! - shutters over the balcony doors blocked sound/light. The room was exceptionally quiet considering how busy the neighborhood is. - the layout of the room was super funky/fun, and balcony over the street was fantastic - the mattress was firm and comfortable- no “dip” - lounge area outside our room was fantastic! Loved having easy access to cold water (still or sparkling!) to refill our bottles, a very well stocked coffee and tea station, and yummy little cookies (biscuits) and gummies. - the woman filling the coffee station was wonderful and so helpful! - welcome wine and snacks!! Things to improve: - There were a few spots where the room was very well worn. The kick plate under the toilet room was rotten and falling apart and the shower stall showed lots of wear. - The desk staff were not knowledgeable about the area. We asked for suggestions for food within a 30 minute walk (a large area) and they gave us a typed list (great!) but said they’d never tried any of them nor did they have any suggestions of their own, or ever hear any feedback from other locals. A bummer but we also recognize not everyone is able to eat out…so this is definitely a first world problem. - Although the room had a good A/C, we wish the duvet was thinner/lighter OR the bed had a top sheet (something we found rarely in our travels). Even with the A/C cranking…we were melting once in bed.

Literally showed up saw the room and left 20 minutes later. It was dirty and we told the front desk and they didn’t even offer to send someone to clean it

Could have done with a kettle and a safe, but had a nice stay. Quite, comfortable, clean and perfect location
