Unusual Hotel. Art based. No Restaurant. Breakfast available. Snacks, liquor, and a reading book selection. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Rooms are small but modern, clean and interesting, artwise. Guests are encouraged to come down to Lobby area where people congregate and visit.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. It is quite beautiful with all the interesting art and the staff was very friendly and serviceminded. The breakfast was quite nice and had good vegetarian options. The room was nice with a very comfortable bed, but the bathroom felt a bit poorly designed (sink and shower) with regards to function. I would also have liked a proper trashcan and a fridge in the room, but for a short stay it didn't affect the comfort very much.

Great hotel but have small snacks too.

Interesting artistic hotel. Friendly personnel and cool compact rooms. Two things reduced stars from maximum were timetaking (30 min) check in and missing small snacks in meny. Sandwiches late evening were overkill though they tasted good. But those do not stop me going back soon.

Decent hotel, rooms a bit on the smaller side, windows can't be opened. Which means you need to run the AC, and I got a lung infection from the AC.

Very nice room with big TV with cast option. A (real) coffemaker in the room would have been perfect. No small fridge, but you can get a cooler. Breakfast was varied with hot and cold options. Too bad the coffee was only pre-brewed (cappuccino or espresso costs extra). Vegan options are nice, but i would have liked a diabetes friendly sweetener option.

Slow check-in, poor water pressure in shower. Limited room facilities. Room was adequate otherwise. The area might be decent in a few years, but was 'up and coming' during our my stay in 2023
