Pros:

Rooms, lounge, pet walk areA

Cons:

Although I understand less need for staff. It would be nice to meet someone on staff during a stay. Maybe a small welcome cocktail or just meet n greet on Sundays or Saturdays. Put a face with the beautiful place

Style in a vibrant neighbourhood
Pros:

Location in a very interesting part of town. Very responsive staff via email/whatsapp

Cons:

While the hotel decor was stylish (1930’s vibe) overall it was a bit pricy for what you get (eg paper cups and no crockery). No staff on site but we accessed the room fine.

It was a pretty awesome time 😎
Pros:

The location was fantastic. It was in a lovely, walkable area with plenty if eateries, shopping spots, even a local library. It's a cute, queer-friendly area.

The hotel itself js so beautiful! It has a 20's/30's vibe with the decor (obviously drawing from it's old-school past as an old police station from the time-period. The facilities were good too with a gorgeous lounge, free ice and drinking-water. There were public toilets downstairs too.

The room was amazing. The A/C was great, the room came with a mini-fridge, a microwave (that I didn't use although having the option was a plus), high ceilings, good lighting and a comfortably sized bath/shower combo.

Cons:

If I'm being super picky; I wasn't a fan of the check-in. It was all online which is perfectly fine, with it partly being down to me I did struggle with unlocking the room itself. It wasn't obvious where the keypad was to unlock the room. The keypad on the doorhandle is a glossy black so I initially though I need a keycard to tap it and unlock the room, it took me about 5 minutes of freaking out at 1 AM to actually touch the glossy black glass for it to iluminate with a keypad. Ultimately it's down to me but I think making it thoroughly could be an improvement for the Bellwether. Also I just like the human aspect.

The only other thing I would say is that while the room was absolutely stunning, we didn't have a view. That's fine by the way it doesn't matter that much to me. The window was up high we couldn't see out of it and was really just there for natural light. Again, it's not important to me.
