Very centrally located with well-maintained rooms in this hostel-style accommodation. However, there's noise pollution from the nightlife surrounding the property, so it's less suitable for light and early sleepers, especially on weekends. Breakfast is very extensive.

For a traveller who likes comfort and interesting and modern design, this hotel can satisfy both aspects. I found the design great and inspiring - the quotes from the hallway sent my husband back in time when he was travelling with backpack around the world...at time using hostels... Good location... Black mark for the noise after 22.30 from the bar.

Above and close to bars/restaurants. The room was comfortable and a good location in the centre, it was quiet. The hotel provides pod coffee, which is good.

Very friendly hotel, everything was perfectly arranged. The location is wonderfully central in a nice neighborhood. It can be noisy in the evening with guests dining below your window, but that didn't bother us. They even provide earplugs, which shows how thoughtful they are.

Our trip was very relaxed and we enjoyed it much because we stayed in this hotel wherein it is located near the tourists attractions. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. what is more nice is that we were able to cook breakfast in our hotel room!everything that we need are there like iron for clothes, hair dryer etc. the staff were also nice.

Nice location, comfortable, well equiped, if I there was any "buts" it would be about the rooftop bar's being pretty small.
