Trendy, cool, but little sus.

Short: recommend for short lazy trips, particularly for couples. Less suitable for extended stays, particularly working holidays. Long: while overall lovely, there were multiple things which were a little off and dismissed as either quirkiness of an “artist hotel”, an old building, or “standard practice”. However, as some greatly experienced with the hotel industry, these are more purposeful misdirections. There were many, but a few include: - the hotel is not “reasonably” accessible, and the elevator does not serve all floors. Keep in mind if you have mobility issues or significant luggage. - difficult to work if you are taking a “remote working holiday”. The “laptop work surface” in the rooms are just tiny low coffee tables with trendy big chairs that you’ll have to hunch over and your back will hurt in short order. - their LOVELY library is not a dedicated space, as it gets rented out and therefore can’t always be used by the guests (an issue compounded by the issue noted above), - the bar adjacent space is an alternative workspace for the above, but it is basically in a corridor slave and has loud-ish music, making concentration and calls difficult.
