It was in convenient location with easy access to trains, buses, or just walking. I loved that I had the bar/restaurant right underneath and could grab a bite or a drink whenever needed. The room itself was also chic and comfortable. My only criticism is that one of my windows did not lock properly, I think it was broken.

Checking in was a little bit of a struggle because the machine wasn't working, but staff was super helpful, and we eventually got the key card working. The room was spacious, and the food at the bar below the hotel was so good! Appreciated the free beer for hotel guests too. Overall, a good stay!

I loved the simplicity of this place while being very comfortable and having everything we needed. The check-in process was very easy and straightforward. We had issues activating our room key cards, but you literally just pick up the phone right there and it connects directly to someone who can help. The check-in beer was a fantastic touch! The hotel is centrally located with everything you could need within walking distance (including a wide variety of food options)! 2 things to keep in mind - there are stairs up to the rooms and there is night life in the area that you will hear at night (not too bad from the top floor). This didn't bother us, but it is something for other guests to consider if they are light sleepers or can't do stairs :)

Will be my hotel for future stays

The location Is nice, close to many restaurants and bars, the room and bathroom were big, the bed comfortable, all the necessary amenities were included Loved the idea of the free beer Suggestions: a longer wire for the hair dryer would be needed in order to actually be able to use the mirror + better illumination

Easy check in other than the card scanner wasn’t working at the time but the staff came and helped us! Also no elevator lots of stairs if your staying on top floor like us ! So if you have lots of baggage and aren’t young and able to lift it up may be something to take into consideration. Rooms were spotless, beds comfortable, set with everything you need.. free water bottles, a couple snacks, toiletries… 10/10! Only complaint is the room gets pretty hot and opening the window/ turning on the small fan doesn’t help. And it wasn’t hot weather during our stay just the building was stuffy and hot!

It is a bit noisy from the bar, that they did wanr us about. But nothing I really think disturbed since it closes at an decent hour during weekdays. The room was big and felt cost. Really liked this stay.
