The hotel had stunning rooms with a beautiful big bed taking up most of the space, and the walk-in shower was a nice touch. The facade of the building and interior design were gorgeous, but it was a bit impractical as there was no room for suitcases. The beds were incredibly comfy though.

The hotel had some cool fixtures in the rooms, but unfortunately, they were extremely noisy, making our stay less comfortable. Additionally, the price seemed high for the overall value we received. On the bright side, the main room had a nice layout.

The hotel offers spacious, clean, and well-designed rooms with an amazing two-level layout and a great bath. The service is outstanding, with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The location is excellent, being near popular spots like Kensington St and White Rabbit, but it can feel cramped during events. Dining options are available, including room service from the cafe next door. Overall, a fantastic stay with some minor room for improvement.

The hotel had a stylish and comfortable room, but the noisy road view was a downside. The service was accommodating, offering complimentary cocktails and great beds, yet the extra charge for a room change was not ideal. The location was perfect, surrounded by amazing food places and bars, but the dining experience led to overcharging and uncertainty. The hotel had great facilities but lacked clarity on pricing.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were stylish, comfortable, and well thought out, complete with a record player and available records. The service was super attentive and friendly, with a special shoutout to Martin, the amazing concierge. The location was excellent, close to bars, restaurants, and galleries. The dining was good, but a bit expensive compared to others. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.
