This place was really good and definitely a great find! Staff location and cleanliness were top tier. Our only complaint was the shower was extremely small. While showering we were unable to move the shower head and it rained down on you as you try to shampoo and wash. The small gap at the bottom of the shower door would also allow a lot of water to spill onto the floor. We were in room 212

Well, we've stay at the Aura Hotel before, just last year. It's hard to believe that for about $100 more per night, the room was actually smaller. The water pressure was low and very inconsistent, not as I remember. The staff is very nice and it is overall vey clean.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and wanted everything to be perfect. I’d read a review suggesting to email ahead and request a high floor to avoid street noise, so I did just that. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were given a room on level 2 facing the street. My husband asked if we could move, but the two people at the front desk said it wasn’t possible that night and to try again in the morning. The first night was extremely noisy — even with earplugs, we could hear the street traffic and the air conditioning was quite loud. The next morning, we asked again and were told nothing was available that day, but we could move the following day. Thankfully, the new room was much better — larger, quieter, and with super comfy beds. It didn’t have a view, but after three nights of uninterrupted sleep (and no 3 a.m. bin men!), we were very happy with it. A big thank you to the concierge team who were fantastic and helped us with our luggage during the move. In hindsight, I wouldn’t bother emailing ahead — it didn’t seem to make a difference. Overall, once we were in the upgraded room, our stay improved a lot, but the first couple of nights were disappointing.
