“Expect well-appointed and generously sized rooms, complete with thoughtful touches like quality coffee and complimentary drinks; the decor has a quirky, boutique style. Its central location provides easy access to transport and shops, yet rooms remain quiet, even above the lively bar; it's a recently renovated spot. Overall, it's a comfortable and stylish choice.”
