Location was perfect around the corner from waverly station.. room was more a city center studio loft with attention to detail that went above and beyond. (Cue beer fridge in the shower!) It even had a dishwasher in the little kitchen.. we wanted to move in! The roof terrace bar is world.class, everything is new and very modern.. but of a break from the period places which i sought out for this trip. Very very cool find, have been recommending to all who lill listen !

It is an absolute brilliant Hotel. I actually just wanted to stay for one night but I had to stay longer... My room was huge, beautifully designed and as thought through as a hotel room can be (It really had everything from nespresso coffee and fresh milk to nailpolish remover and hairstraightener )... The staff was very welcoming and helpful at all times and the breakfast was great.Highly recommend. One of the best Hotels I have stayed in so far.

Great hotel, convenient location, bus stop and grocery store nearby. Very friendly staff, as soon as you cross the threshold, you feel like you are visiting close friends. Everything is clean, the room had everything you needed. I was pleased with the choice of tea, coffee and milk. If you had any comments or ideas on how to improve the service, there was a questionnaire on the table. But I didn't need it because everything was going very well for me. Thank you for your hospitality.
