"Great service and everything, but very scary ambiance. Everything is painted black, making it dark and uneasy. The hallways are dark, as is the shower and room. The bathrooms are all mirrors, which makes going to the toilet very scary, as you can see all of yourself in the mirror."

"Great service, loved the quirkiness and such helpful staff. Even though our room was small, it was very cosy and had everything we needed. The goodies in the lobby were an unexpected treat too. The only thing I would say is that the personal check in is much more friendly and efficient than the digital one. Loved our stay . Many thanks. "

"This isn't a review, rather a comment. I think it'd be helpful if there were more luggage trolleys available. At check out time I asked for one to be brought to our room and after 15 mins gave up waiting. I was told later,at reception, that the one trolley that could have been available was already in use. I wondered why there was only one. I admit such trolleys are bulky. Overall our stay was good. "
