10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel. Well located, efficient, comfortable and clean. Loved the lobby where you can work well. The baristas actually know how to pour a good flat white. The rooftop has a nice view and the gym is better equipped than other hotel gyms.

Think twice.
If you're looking for a hotel room, this isn't the place for you. It's a single room in a hostel, and it's pretty tiny. The bed is placed against the wall, which makes it accessible from only one end. The sink is located inside the room while the toilet is separated from the room by a thin glass. The price is too high for what you get. They use an iPad as a remote control, meaning you can't turn off the AC and certain lights in the room. You either turn all of them on or all of them off. The location is good. The personnel is excellent.

Really nice 😀
Perfect location, room was kinda small but really nice and comfortable bed with a nice view of the city. We loved the decorations and lay out of the room.

Enjoyed our stay. Easy check in process with friendly staff member at kiosk to assist. Every staff person was pleasant at the hotel. Hotel was clean. Room was a little tight. Bed against window might be a problem for some, but was ok for us. Hang out areas in lobby very comfortable and cozy. Interesting art displays in elevator, wouldn’t be my choice. Would stay again.

Probably ideal for the single vacationer or business traveler. Pretty cramped for two people, even with the king bed. Overall, nice room
