Great accommodation that made our...

Liked: Really well located accommodation that allowed us to walk to the museums, restaurants and memorials. Room was very comfortable and clean. Friendly, helpful and capable staff. Highly recommend.
Disliked: Menu on rooftop was limited so unable to enjoy eating here as much as would have liked.

Needs new a/c in all...

Liked: Staff was pleasant.
Disliked: The thermostats did not work. The iPad in the room to change the temperature just spun when attempting to adjust but I could never feel a change in temperature or hear or feel the a/c. The first room was so hot it was 85 the first night trying to sleep. Fortunately, the staff was able to get me in a different room the second night, which was a lower floor but same issue with attempting to adjust thermostat. While it felt a few degrees cooler than the upper floor in the first room it’s almost like the thermostat adjustment on the iPad was fake and didn’t actually do anything.

Very good

Liked: A very good location and value for money

Funky, fun hotel.

Liked: I liked the design, attractive and different. Though the rooms were small, the clever design gave you everything you needed. The bed was very comfortable.
Disliked: I was traveling on my own so was not bothered but some visitors might not like having to clamber over the bed as it was only accessible from 1 side.
