Alternative vibes, not the usual hotel experience

Funky and full of character. No cooking facilities in the terrace suites, just be aware. Worth the experience. Lovely staff who go the extra mile. Great location.

Pros: location can’t be beat. Tons of bars, restaurants and cafes, free trams in the CBD, near all the points of interest. Comfy beds and nice pillows, 307 faced the back alley and was quiet. Free coffee and happy hour wine, plus the free candy bins was a cute touch. Free laundry? Yes please! Cons: strange layout - apparently the architect has never actually stayed in a hotel. World’s tiniest bathroom, Huge living room, yet nowhere for guest #2 to put their stuff. Spotty wifi. All in all, I would definitely stay here again and hope for a better room layout.
