The room was small even for European standards and the walls and windows were paper thin so you heard everything outside and in the rooms above, below and beside you. I wouldn’t stay again unfortunately although I love the area it is located.

The bed is very comfortable but the curtains don't cover properly and it is very noisy. I wouldn't call this a boutique hotel considering the condition of the place and those lifts. In general I was quite disappointed considering the cost.

Highly recommended. Perfect location , quiet, with only short walks to shops, bistros, the Metro & bus stops, and sites of interest. You can take either the lift or the stairs to your room. The room was small but very clean. The staff were knowledgeable and most amenable. There is a lovely cafe on site with both indoor & outdoor seating, and an interesting shop. We would definitely stay here again.

Funky property, in an excellent location. Able to get a North American style breakfast in the lobby is a plus. Vinyl records and a record player, projection TV and a super industrial setup make this one of the most unique hotels I've had the pleasure of staying in.
