Pros:

Clean room, just a bit hot. Wifi was very spotty in the room. Also important to note that you can't get there before noon when the pub opens for check-in.

Pros:

Overall it was average, very dirty windows. Cobwebs, dirty bugs etc. stains on walls. Where it’s above a pub it is insanely noisy until they close. So if you’re trying to get a good sleep this isn’t the place for you.

Pros:

The neighborhood and property were beautiful! We have never felt more welcomed and at home at a hotel before. Everything about our stay was amazing, from easy check in, lovely people who run it, who accommodated us in every way possible, to artsy aesthetic. We loved getting to stay at a hotel that is so community centric, who want to bring artists and musicians together in one beautiful place. Looking forward to staying there again, thank you Sonia!

Pros:

Property was hard to contact and access. Not suitable if you have luggage of any kind. Room was dirty and falsely advertised. WiFi does not work in room and tv was not connected to anything. It was loud outside and in the pub below until 1am. Screaming outside at 3am and there are hardly any places to eat nearby or in the pub. Facility owners were nice but the stay itself was terrible.
