If you don't need to save the money, stay elsewher

Not a terrible stay, but not great. The aesthetic is simple loft living, but the owner's seem to have used that as an excise to allow for genuine dilapidation: mold in the shower grout, peeling paint, the ceiling sagging. Also, the AC system was so loud and inconsistent that it switched to "auto" despite being set for "always on" and woke me up several timea throughout the night as it struggled to turn back on (I'm not a light sleeper).

All around excellent hotel option. Great location and amenities, lobby, free coffee in the morning is ah-plus, clean & tidy rooms. The only shortcoming was that the tiled shower needs a deep, thorough cleaning as the floor & lower part of the wall was getting black with mildew. All and all I recommend.

Huge room, comfortable bed, minimalist and chic furnishings. This hotel is in what I imagine was an industrial building. It was a little tattered in places (paint hanging off the bathroom ceiling, corridors drab). Service is efficient but surprisingly minimal (don’t expect a manned check in desk or to have your room serviced).

Experience was immaculate! Bed was so comfortable and IPad and record player were very nice additions to the room. The bathroom layout was interesting with the toilet and bathtub being in one area and the sink in another, but overall it was very nice!

The staff were very friendly and they accommodated to our needs. I would note that the hotel doesnt have an elevator so you will need to carry your luggage up the stairs. The look of the room is very modern, quite clean but the bathroom doesnt feel clean so I would recommend bringing shower slippers.

The property and staff were fantastic. The only issue was a rather bad leak from the rain in our room. It was addressed the first day, but I unfortunately continued to leak the remaining days. Not the worst thing, but we did have to keep a trash can in front of the bathroom door so slightly inconvenient.
