It's giving Chelsea Hotel, kind...

Liked: The vibe is kind of 1970s New York / Chelsea Hotel, gritty but charming. Unbeatable location, everything you need is within a 10 min walk. We came for a literary festival and it was great being able to walk to the venue. The breakfast was quite good for the price (simple toast, nutella, peanut butter, bananas and apples, and the coffee was excellent). It's in a charming old building, with a large terrace and some interesting art / furniture pieces inside. The staff were mostly friendly and responsive, offering a hair dryer / iron if needed (though we didn't end up using either). Decent wifi and refillable water station. The shared bathroom was clean, relatively well maintained, and usually empty. It's a relaxed atmosphere, and you can hang out in the library reading / talking on the phone without anybody bothering you. I've heard talk of ghosts, but sadly we did not witness any paranormal activity :)
Disliked: Because of the location and some iffy locks on the entrance door, one night we couldn't get in for about 5 minutes because of a homeless person on the staircase landing. The person left eventually, but it was quite scary, and our calls did not go through to the lobby. We were told this had never happened before and did not get any advice on what to do if it were to happen again. The walls are quite thin so you will hear every step in the hallway, the water in the shower goes cold quickly, and it also gets rather cold at night (late May), so pack some warmer clothing. The room smelled like smoke despite the 'no smoking' signs everywhere.

Very good

Liked: Location, staff were nice, room size was good.
Disliked: Bath area was small, breakfast option was inadequate.
