Excellent stay, will come back again.
Pros:

Property was great. I got the room with the terrace, the view is pretty. The staff are great, all speak great English. They were really accommodating. Check out time was 11am, but I had a few business meetings and didn’t want to keep my luggage with me so they let me use their luggage storage for free; I came back later to pick up my stuff.

Cons:

I wish there were water bottles in the room already. I didn’t want to continuously go down to get water

Pros:

Charming, quirky rooms with lovely decor. Enough surface space and seating in the room. Quiet. Very clean. Proper blackout curtains in the room. Very helpful staff. The 24 hour hotel and cold drinks machine was very welcome. The location was, for me, very good. Walking distance (10-20 minutes to tourist sights) and 8 minutes to a main shopping street. This was my first time at a Happy Culture hotel and I will be going back.

Cons:

For me, it was ok, but American visitors may like to know that the water pressure won't be what they are used to. That however, is likely in many similar boutique hotels. It's not a big deal compared to the positives.

Bardzo przyjemny, czysty hotel w dobrej lokalizacji, z miłą, pomocną obsługą.
Pros:

Obiekt jest w dobrej lokalizacji, bardzo czysty, obsługa bardzo miła i pomocna. Zaletą jest to, że przez cały dzień można za darmo napić się kawy, herbaty oraz wody w hotelowym holu.

Pros:

Quiet rooms. Helpful staff. 5 minutes' walk to main shopping street. Close enough to attractions. Away from heaving crowds. Charming rooms. Quirky. My first time at a Happy Culture hotel. I have already booked 2 more stays. Very good value for money.

Cons:

For me, this wasn't a problem, but the bathroom has a normal shower, not a power shower... irrelevant if you're staying as a tourist for a couple of nights!!
