Would like to return soon!
A gem of a place. really enjoyed the set up with the shared spaces and the private rooms. The rooms are bright, friendly, and clean. The hotel is cheerful and fresh. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Everything was excellent during our 1 week stay. Adding a few hangers to the supply drawer would be great. Otherwise, it's not lacking in anything. The location is great, with everything in walking distance.

Great location but really an upmarket hostel.
The location is great but it really is an upmarket hostel. The rooms are very small, the bed is badly positioned for two people to get out of comfortably and the bathroom is tiny - and water pretty much goes everywhere, without a shower screen. Nice decor and friendly staff but nothing in the room - fridge, iron, toaster all in "shared areas".

Great funky concept hotel
Pros: Great funky concept hotel. Rooms very modern and clean. Beds were comfortable.
Cons: not a fan of frosted glass walls on the bathroom offering zero privacy when doing your business. Bed jammed up against the window meaning you have to climb over each other to get up and down. Also constantly knocking the blinds with my feet which woke me a lot.

Stunning hotel with fully equipped kitchen
This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at. Not because it's fancy or anything. It's clean, roomy and tastefully decorated. It has a huge fully equipped kitchen on the main floor that you can whip up anything you want which was perfect for me after spending 8 days of eating out for every single meal. The stuff are super friendly, literally every stuff was extremely helpful and willing to chat with you. Feels like you going to your mates place instead of an regular hotel. The location is also amazing especially if you are queer as it's located right next to all the queer bars

It had a cool hostel-y feel to it. As I was there for a short time with my kids it was good and worked for us.

We’ll be back, soon!
Great place to rest and relax. Useful amenities (laundry room, shared kitchen). No room service, but really who needs that these days, especially given the fabulous eateries around the hotel. We had a delicious meal at Orlo next door. Amazing restaurant with wonderful staff. Equaled only by the staff at Lyf. Thumbs up on all fronts.
