The location in the centre of the city required vigilance. We knew that when booking. It’s no criticism of the property but we considered that anyone going there should be aware and alert. Having said that the hotel and staff were excellent.

It was a little confusing ti find since its on a pedestrian street. I called the hotel and they sent the bell boy to direct me on how to get there. The rooms besides being very comfortable for my family and I, was very chic. You will fall in love with the rooftop restaurant. Reminded me of a LA chic vibe. The cocktails were amazing. The vibe was great. Athough it felt the hotel would be a great place for younger traveleres, there were so accommodating to my family and I. As a matter of fact, there were lots of families with young toddlers staying here. The staff throughout the hotel was so cortious and helpful. They even walked with me to a grocery store to buy some stuff. I would have liked to have stayed for longer nights. I would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic! It’s funky, clean, the rooms are spacious and well-appointed, the staff are amazing, the food (especially the breakfasts) are great. It’s like a hidden gem in the middle of plainness - the speakeasy of hotels. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel with cool vibes

Great hotel in a great location close to so many attractions. The staff is amazing and the restaurant is spectacular on the rooftop. It’s a very cool vibe all around. I give five stars to the breakfast, which is superb, included with our room, and the dinner we enjoyed was A+. There are events at the hotel which makes it even better. I was travelling for three nights with my wife and four year old daughter and this stay was perfect.
