They need to install some proper curtains that actually block the light from the extremely well lit carpark behind the hotel.

The lack of fresh air in the rooms at night was the only small issue I had. Not really a complaint as probably not a lot can be done regarding this as the structure of the building restricts anything. Intriguing decor and a pleasure to stay there.

Good location. Rooms were a little small but cozy. Staff was wonderful. Breakfast was only continental and kind of meh. Had coffee and tea in room and a refrigerator. Hallway outside our door was noisy in the morning.
