Cleanliness
10
Consistently praised across reviews: rooms described as very clean, prompt messaging about issues; cleaners helped guests with Wi‑Fi — overall excellent cleanliness.
Service
6.3
Mixed-to-negative: many guests noted there are no on-site staff or front desk and the digital-only process frustrated some; however messages were answered promptly and occasional helpful staff (cleaner) assisted.
Location
9.9
Widely praised: downtown, walkable to attractions, great vibe and courtyard — location viewed as a strong asset.
Room Quality
9.7
Rooms frequently described as comfortable with good beds, effective/quiet AC, nice showers and stylish decor; some comments about smaller historic-room sizes, but overall very positive.
Amenities
7.2
Mixed: attractive property and courtyard but notable lack of on-site staff, no breakfast service, and no dedicated parking — amenities are limited compared to full-service hotels.
Value for Money
9.5
Generally seen as good value (headline 'Luxury and value'); guests who accept the phone/keyless model found excellent cleanliness and modern rooms for the price.
Food and Beverage
7
Inconsistent: the lobby/bar was lively at times but many guests reported the bar was often closed and there was no breakfast option — occasional positives but unreliable F&B availability.
Overall Experience
9.2
Mostly positive boutique experience: strong design, technology, cleanliness and location create a memorable stay for many, though the impersonal digital-only service and occasional closures lowered the experience for some guests.

Fine
Pros:

Hotel and rooms look good - nice decoration and style.

Cons:

The whole no-front desk system with digital keys is a hit-and-miss affair. The front door didn’t work and my digital keys got deactivated early because clock had changed to winter time but system had not been updated.
The absence of a front desk meant multiples messages from the ‘virtual’ front desk which really didn’t simplify the process. Maybe for the hotel it’s a cost saving exercise, but from an user-experience point of view, it didn’t work for me

This was disappointing because there was no staff on site and we were locked out of the hotel due to digital snafus —thi
Pros:

The hotel was clean, the shower worked well, the bed was comfortable

Cons:

The worst thing about this hotel is the entire model of having no one on site and only digital access. The second night of our stay I was prematurely checked out and could not get into the hotel. Removing hotel employees from the premises is the opposite of hospitality. Also there was no chair in the room, so nowhere to sit expect the bed, meaning no reason to stay in the room except to sleep. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
