Pros:

Very well located and stylish hotel. Our room was very comfortable and very cool - the decor is great! Staff was super helpful, even making sure I got a very early taxi to the airport. I would’ve liked to have stayed longer.

An excellent stay but more care required with regard to detail.
Pros:

The room was well-appointed and I like the ambience and friendliness of the hotel.

Cons:

I had to leave early and therefore ordered a takeaway box to be left outside my room. A member of staff knocked on my room door with a full breakfast tray! I was not impressed.
