Pros:

Excellent location (except that you have to park in a Wilson carpark around the corner). Cuba Street is literally a stroll away. Staff were friendly, room clean and surprisingly quiet given the location. Good amenities. Shower was amazing.

Cons:

So dark in and around the elevator, ok if you're a young person with good eyesight but a bit of a struggle for us. Have to go out into the hallway to make a coffee/tea.

Pros:

It’s well-located and fun

Cons:

I was cold - the heat pump didn’t reach the bed (long corridor) and the room is single glazed. By the time I discovered the problem, it was late and no staff were around. The hotel knows about this problem so I think they could anticipate it and provide a small heater. Also, while the room was clean, the carpet is old and stained and gives an initial poor impression

Perfect in every way!
Pros:

Everything! Such a cool hotel with a great vibe and brilliant location. Loved all the little touches and outside the square thoughts. Bathrooms were gorgeous, great showers and love the tiles. Felt like a New York boutique hotel. The bar was fabulous and great to see proper wine glasses throughout. Staff were amazing too, and nothing was a problem. Can’t wait to return!
