I LOVE this hotel! We stay here everytime we come up to the city!
Pros:

Comfortable bed, clean accommodations super friendly staff. Thank you for the availabiity to check in a little early! I loved the window overlooking Gough st . and being able to open it to enjoy the fresh air and the lively neighborhood.

Cons:

Honestly I have nothing to comment here! We had more street noise during this stay since our room was on the street side this time but it didn't bother me since it dies down for teh most part by midnite.

Super séjour, rapport qualité prix au top !
Pros:

j'ai beaucoup aimé la localisation, le prix attractif et la salle partagée pour manger !

Cons:

Le lit est petit et on entend les gens dehors, il s'agit d'un vieille hotel donc on ne s'attendait pas à une super isolation.

Great location. Good rooms. Consider having a plan B place to stay if contactless check-in fails.
Pros:

The room was very nice. The ceiling fan was plenty to keep us cool but in baking hot weather guests should know there's no AC. The eating area is beautiful and the guests while we were there kept it clean. The cleaning staff were the best kind of hospitable and the rooms were immaculate.

Cons:

The "contactless" Hotel check in process was dreadful . . . so little contact that we almost couldn't get in at all. Locked front door. No reply to the listed phone number and no call back in response to two messages left with the listed number. No response to the doorbell either even though it turned out there was someone in "reception" in the kitchen. The building has NO STAFF on site at all over the weekend.
By contrast, once we were inside the building the "contactless" room key worked very well.

Pros:

Great location, nice shared kitchen.

Cons:

It's actually a hostel. The shared bathroom is very small and old. Very loud vent noise in the room (I think there is a restaurant vent or something just outside the window). Zero acoustic isolation between rooms.
