Comfy and a great location
Pros:

The location is central. The beds were comfortable. I had a choice of pillows. Memory foam pillows were found in the closet. They set up the 5th floor breakfast room for the afternoon and evening with tea coffee and sweets. Wine glasses and bartenders opener were available to toast the sunset from the terrace. The staff were amazing especially Reuben.

Cons:

I struggled to find fault. If you value complete privacy when in the bathroom one might find it a challenge.

Mixed feelings.
Pros:

Location
Interior design
Terrace at the top

Cons:

- we had booked the first night for €145.
As we wished to stay another night, the boy receptionist on duty 15th October,could only give it to us for € 200 when we knew the hotel was not full.
Not commercial.
- when we left on 17th October, the girl receptionist on dury at 2pm prevented us to wait in the bar on the roof pretending there were cleaning it. Which was not true as I checked.
We had to wait for one hour in the very small reception.

A memorable decor
Pros:

Beautiful view - especially from Breakfast/Afternoon tea room on the top floor.
Comfortable spacious room with tea kettle and refrigerator.
Great breakfast with omelettes available as well as standard fare.
Afternoon tea was a nice touch.
The library themed decor was extremely well done and clever. We had fun reading the eclectic mix of titles of the books (that looked like stone) that covered the walls. Very unique decoration!

Inspired design!
Pros:

As an hospitality designer, the interior design is incredibly put together. The attention to detail of the marble and use of a libary theme is timeless and creatively executed. The breakfast was healthy and delicious. My partner had to finish up some remote work and the staff kindly let us stay in the breakfast room however we were put in a corner so no one could see us which felt a little uncomfortable to have to hide, but we were very grateful.

Cons:

It would be nice to be able to use the top floor as a workspace, as there are none in the area. One person, who may have been the owner or manager, wasn't very smiley with us when we were in the breakfast room; Everyone else was kind.
