Pros:

Strefa spa była super

Cons:

Leżaki nad basenem już trochę stare. Moj pokój był bardzo malutki, nie mieściły się nawet walizki. Jednak to pokój był piękny i czysty. Niestety nie było śniadania, bo był remont kuchni :/

Pleasant stay, highly recommended!
Pros:

Very different from any standard hotel room, simple, no TV, no tea/coffee. Good sound system for relaxation or meditation.
Very close to the beach, restaurants, metro and bus stops.
Unfortunately the restaurant was not functioning during our stay but that gave us a chance to explore different places to eat.
Staff were pleasant, greeting whenever they see us!

Cons:

A bit expensive than other hotels for what they offer. We think because of BTS concert and weekend(not a big deal), we would love to stay again!

Quirky and comfortable space in a great location
Pros:

Loved the location close to the metro and the beach, poolside space is a great place to beat the heat. Hotel rooms are quirky and charming, not your typical boring rooms.

Cons:

Not a major thing but worth noting our room did not have a room safe and while there was an electric kettle, no tea or coffee

Suberb vibe & design, cozy and clean rooms and friendly staff
Pros:

It was a very nice hotel, beautiful design, very clean, super nice front-desk staff. they allowed us to check-in at around 12am as the room was ready!
the pool is very nice, we used this quiet/spa room, it was simple but really nice experience as well.
location is great as well, very close to the beach but far enough to be silent. even though our room window was towards the street, it was pretty silent.
totally recommend, if you like this 'darker', ambient vibe.

Cons:

the restaurant downstairs was not working while we were there... it's not an issue though. i still loved the stay and would come again for sure.

If negatives will be fixed this is 10/10 hotel :)
Pros:

Amazing hotel, location just off the beach. Everytime we entered we felt like in resort in Bali. Beautiful aestethics, smelled very clean. AC was above the bed, so it didnt blast at us.
Huge comfortsble room. Amazing shower amendities smelled so good.
Every day room was pristine clean. Bed very comfortable. Strong wifi. Clean pool. Definatelly recommend staying here.

Cons:

Not sure if we were unlucky with the room position, but whole night there was a light from street blasting in our room. There was no curtain to block it.
Also room fridge is very loud.
The pool cushions werent possible to be used, very dirty, stained.
