Loved this boutique hotel!
What a great boutique hotel! The check in process was very easy and they accommodated me with an early check in. Location was perfect. New, fluffy towels, Nespresso machine and electric kettle a plus!

Good hotel for a quick stay
I really enjoyed the location. It was so close to the Muni station and lots of great restaurants and bars. The free drinks with the tokens were a wonderful surprise. I did have a problem with the shower. I enjoy nice hot showers and, unfortunately, the water became luke warm within 10 minutes. Maybe that’s to encourage people to get out faster but right now, during the Winter, I like getting out of the shower nice and toasty. There was also a lot of noise happening at night and I don’t mean street noise, which was an anticipated concern. We kept hearing dishes clinking until nearly midnight, which I thought was strange. Overall, I would recommend this location.
