Normally an awesome hotel and experience but now sadly seems like a hotel scaling uo from covid issues. Room was not ready, towels, were not in room, bathroom fan was broke, etc. Staff was very courteous, however, and did their best to quickly remedy issues.

Great location that is walkable to cafes, bars and shops. Interesting decor. Be advised there is a train next to the hotel that you can hear, but it’s not too bad. Would stay again.
