Shady management. Left me without a place to stay.
Shocking Experience – Misleading Policies I’ve stayed at this hotel three times previously with my dog, relying on their advertised pet-friendly amenities. However, during my recent stay, I was shocked to discover that their pet policy had changed in April—something that was never communicated to me during booking or check-in. When my partner arrived late Friday with our dog, she was refused check-in. Despite my requests for an exception or a reasonable solution, staff repeatedly refused and offered no viable options. I even offered to pay a cleaning fee, but the only suggestion was a far more expensive alternative at another property. This left me with no choice but to give the room to my partner while I had to make a makeshift bed and sleep in my office with my dog. The lack of transparency, refusal to accommodate, and overall treatment were unacceptable. If your policy has changed, it must be communicated clearly on your website and booking platforms. I won’t be returning after this experience and would caution others to confirm policies before booking.

A gem of a place. really enjoyed the set up with the shared spaces and the private rooms. The rooms are bright, friendly, and clean. The hotel is cheerful and fresh. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Everything was excellent during our 1 week stay. Adding a few hangers to the supply drawer would be great. Otherwise, it's not lacking in anything. The location is great, with everything in walking distance.

Excellent hotel in a super cool neighbourhood. I loved my stay here. The room is compact but it has everything you need and the bed is super comfy and luxurious. It’s also great they let you book in advance and pay at the property with no penalties for cancelling up to a day before - love this flexibility!

As a client with a disability it was good to be assigned a room with appropriate facilities. However, I found the room door very heavy to open and the doors to the shared kitchen almost impossible. Opening one door against the closer was actually above my weight limit and my walker didn’t fit through the opening. Opening both doors (they were very narrow so no distance to hinges was out of my league.

Great location but really an upmarket hostel.
The location is great but it really is an upmarket hostel. The rooms are very small, the bed is badly positioned for two people to get out of comfortably and the bathroom is tiny - and water pretty much goes everywhere, without a shower screen. Nice decor and friendly staff but nothing in the room - fridge, iron, toaster all in "shared areas".

Great funky concept hotel
Pros: Great funky concept hotel. Rooms very modern and clean. Beds were comfortable. Cons: not a fan of frosted glass walls on the bathroom offering zero privacy when doing your business. Bed jammed up against the window meaning you have to climb over each other to get up and down. Also constantly knocking the blinds with my feet which woke me a lot.

Stunning hotel with fully equipped kitchen
This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at. Not because it's fancy or anything. It's clean, roomy and tastefully decorated. It has a huge fully equipped kitchen on the main floor that you can whip up anything you want which was perfect for me after spending 8 days of eating out for every single meal. The stuff are super friendly, literally every stuff was extremely helpful and willing to chat with you. Feels like you going to your mates place instead of an regular hotel. The location is also amazing especially if you are queer as it's located right next to all the queer bars
