The main thing I was unpleased about was the lack of views. When you first check in your asked you if you want a courtyard view or a street view but no matter which view you pick top or bottom you still see an old building out of your window. Besides that this hotel is in walking distance to museums, The Wharf, restaurants which is a big plus.

Nice small cozy place nearby the metro and relatively close to major attractions. Only thing is that there isn’t a lot of places to eat around within walking distance and therefore would be nicer if the hotel would offer more real food choices locally instead of just snack type foods.

Ok stay for a night near the Mall

Funky hotel with comfortable small space for one or two travelers (not kid friendly). Self check in was confusing, so was the breakfast process. and staff was not very welcoming or helpful. Sometimes it’s the small things that make a difference in a hotel stay, and the cheap toilet paper make that statement for me.

The bed was extremely comfortable and the room, although very small, was smartly designed. The food in the canteen was awful. Nobody seemed to know for sure how the sushi rooftop bar worked for guests at the hotel. Some people said we couldn’t go up there without a reservation and others told us we could go out there but we couldn’t eat there. There is actually a menu you can eat off of without a reservation in the sushi was very good and the view was beautiful.

Small rooms

The hotel room was very small. I felt like I was on a cruise ship. I was disappointed that no microwaves, irons or ironing boards were in the room. There was only 1 drawer to put our clothes in.
