Hotel's decor really pops
Guests praise the property's interior decor as being really vibrant and unique. The hotel also embraces its heritage, the building itself is historically listed and was built in 1913, to create a mix of new and old styles.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Nothing to see here
Several visitors state that the views from some of the rooms can be a bit disappointing as the windows face another building next to the property. Some rooms do have a view of the city or river, but it is wise to request one prior to your stay.
negative:
Space comes at a premium
Rooms at the property are a bit small and can leave you feeling cramped according to a number of travelers. A few visitors note that the bathrooms in particular are really tiny.
negative:
Bed not always as it seems
A few guests point out that in some rooms with a queen bed, the mattress is actually two single beds pushed together to make a larger one. Visitors that noticed this say the two beds pushed together are not all that comfortable make for an awkward sleep.
