Pros:

Room and bed were amazing, clean and very comfy, very convenient location to everything.

Cons:

You can't control the heating in the room, it's controlled centrally and was extremely hot. The hotel rooms are two floors up and there's no lift, and the sound proofing was very poor in a very busy street, could hear people talking and all the traffic at all times. Maid didn't clean the room the first day, despite leaving the tag to clean up the room and there's no receptionist, or contact and this morning, at 7 am, I could not get back into the hotel as the key stopped working.

Nice decor
Pros:

The décor and design in the room bathroom was really nice

Cons:

The side door to get into the hotel would get jammed by the dead bolt.
It was confusing how to check in, and very busy at the bar, so with coats and bags even 10 mins felt a while to check in.

Delightful
Pros:

Perfectly positioned for my needs. Just trendy enough without making me feel like an old bastard

Cons:

Room was a bit hot, having had the day’s sun on the window all day… but I’m splitting hairs.

Everything you need to have a decent stay
Pros:

The bathroom was clean and spacious, the bed also seemed comfortable and the room was well soundproofed

Cons:

The windows could not be opened that much and since the floor was carpeted I would have preferred to let more air circulate

Friendly staff. Cosy room. Attentive service. great bar.

Noise from private function downstairs on Saturday night (ended at 1am). Fire alarm going off multiple times during the night - told by staff this was caused by somebody setting it off during the party
