Reviews
Only one thing I didn’t like it’s very bad sound proof level in the room
There is a pool, but it's a bit of a gimmick, and we wouldn't have felt comfortable using it with people at the bar.
The room was beautiful, very well cleaned every day and a great design. There is a fridge and a safe which we found really useful. I also used the supplied clothes steamer, which was very helpful. The bed we had was king-size, but felt huge.
We had some noise from outside on the last night at 3 am, as the area around is a bit dodgy in places. But nearby the food is much cheaper, which was very useful for getting breakfast and lunch.
We used the restaurant one night and the food was delicious and really well presented, and not very expensive.
We loved the design and layout of the whole hotel, it's really modern and cool.
