Pros:

It’s well appointed and bed is comfortable. Location from train station is excellent and easy walk to waterfront. Staff I saw very nice.

Cons:

It’s so loud. Basically like being on the (very busy) street. Ear plugs and white noise machine provided …
Was advertised as a loft bed to be fair but be aware it is a genuine ladder climb up which was a bit different.

Great value and comfortable stay downtown.
Pros:

Comfy and clean. Great value.

Cons:

I was slightly concerned about security since my code to the building/elevatoe was the same as my code to my room. Even though that makes it easy, if someone followed me in and paid close enough attention at the door and the elevator, they could get into my room.

Super expensive though comfortable and complete. Worth it only for proximity to train station
Pros:

proximity to F&B options and train station. the rooms were very clean and well stocked - had all we needed. luggage storage was very limited and fully occupied when we reached in the morning, but staff was super friendly and helped us store our belongings in the spare staff area and brought them to our rooms after they were cleaned and ready for check in.

Cons:

the loft bed was a little challenging to get to. we did book the property aware of this from pictures, but experiencing it for ourselves although just for one night was indeed still challenging with the steep stairs and super high mattress to hop on.

Great room but big areas of opportunity
Pros:

Location and room were perfect! Super clean and modern appt in both design and tech for self check in. Also communication is very fast and efficient with staff. I arrived a couple of hours before and they allowed me to enter prior to normal check in and I'm super thankful 🙏🏼♡

Cons:

The couch that transforms into bed is very low quality, terribly uncomfortable. I'm glad I only stayed 1 night because my back would've hurt otherwise. Also, in case I wouldn't have been able to access room prior to check in, I would've left my luggage in a storage where everyone has access, which I find dangerous and makes a normal hotel look worth it for the difference in bucks.

Pros:

Gute Lage, einfacher Check-In, schönes Interior

Cons:

Wir haben für vier Personen gebucht, aber nur Bettwäsche und Handtücher für zwei Personen vorgefunden. Auf dem Sofabett war noch ein altes Bettlagen drauf. Das Sofabett ist unfassbar unbequem und nicht zu empfehlen.

Delightful place to stay that met our needs.
Pros:

Location was great, clean and affordable. Also very quiet.

Cons:

It is a silly thing, but no sweetener or sugar for the provided coffee and tea.

Quirky Apartment for the Young and Able
Pros:

The room had a comfortable bed and a fitted kitchen with plates, cutlery glasses, a microwave, and a fridge/freezer. Also, a big walk-in shower.

It was all up together and a good standard.

Cons:

We didn't like the ladder stair access to the lofted bed. We were both uncomfortable using the stairs. We could so easily have fallen and hurt ourselves, especially during the night.

There were only 2 large size luggage storage cabinets in the entrance, and both were taken. Luckily, the staff were able to look after the suitcases for us until our room was ready.

I didn't feel comfortable in the neighbourhood. There were vagrants and groups of men around.

The key code for entrance to the block, loft and room was complicated.
