Terrible hotel, look elsewhere. The first strike was offering luggage storage and then sending me on a harrowing 15 minute hellacious experience as they “Tried” to locate my luggage when I returned to check in. How do you not communicate with each other where you store luggage? (Side note: pretty sure they let me into a room that was occupied by others to “look” for my bag. Great privacy protection they have…) The second strike was the teeeeerible bed. I’ve never complained about a bed in a hotel before and when reading about the complaint about the bed in this place before booking I thought the person complaining must be one of “those” people who always find something to complain about. THEY WEREN'T WRONG. The bed is soooo uncomfortable. It literally made me sore in places. That’s a first for me. The third strike was when there was no hot water on my last night there or the last morning so I got to fly 13 hrs home without a shower. I read a previous review with a management response that said the guests lack of hot water was an “isolated incident” but clearly not since it happened to me too!! How do you just not have hot water for 12 hrs?? Furthermore, the fourth strike was when the fire alarm went off on my last day there at 6am and it took 1.5 hrs to get back in. AND THEN when I went to leave having an urgent train to catch for my last days activity, the front door would not open. There was no manual override and when a member of staff came around to “help” her approach wa

This was a horrible experience and hotel. I’ve never felt less valued as a customer as I had when things went south with the Drey. When we arrived we were “upgraded” to a lesser room and thats where it all went downhill. We asked to get the difference back for the original room we rented and were continuously told that because we booked with Expedia there was nothing they could do. Funny that when they tried to push us out they could offer a real refund. They proceeded to move us to the original room only for us to find used eyelashes stuck to the mirror along with sequins on the floor. When we complained we were accompanied by the head of housekeeping who sweared he had checked this third room. Only for me to immediately find more hair on the floor along with a pube on the toilet. The only resolution they could ever come up with was us leaving on a Saturday night with nowhere to go. I have never been more disappointed with a stay in my life. No one seemed to care in the slightest about our complaints to the point we were actively ignored when being in the lobby. I will be telling everyone I can to NEVER stay at the Drey. My father is head of key accounts for a large world-wide chemical company and he’ll be sure to never take clients to this hotel.

I’ll start with the positive. The staff was excellent and the property was clean. Unfortunately, beyond that, the stay was very disappointing. Not every room has a television. We were told this was intentional to encourage guests to explore the city. That may be a philosophy, but it is misleading when some rooms do have TVs and this is not clearly stated at booking. The room photos also make the spaces appear much larger than they are. Even as very tidy travelers, we were constantly bumping into each other due to the extremely tight layout. Several basic amenities were missing or did not function properly. The coffee maker did not work. Face towels were not provided. The air conditioner sounded like running water throughout the night, making it difficult to sleep. There were no side tables and no drawers or storage, which is surprising given the high bed frame where storage could have easily been incorporated. The shower was extremely small, smaller than what I experienced in college housing. Overall, the room felt more like a cross between a tiny home and a hostel rather than a hotel. Guests are encouraged to use a fully digital experience, including digital room keys, yet the WiFi was unreliable and frequently went out. Eventually, we were given a traditional room key, which worked far better. If the staff had not been so accommodating and kind, I would have rated this stay much lower. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst hotel stays we have had, and we would not r

The staff is very courteous. The issues we experienced were related to the room size, the need to request house keeping, the sinks that don’t line up properly underneath the faucet, and the hit or miss internet. The staff did their very best but the hotel has only been in operation for 3 weeks and there are many kinks to work through unfortunately.

Shiny new hotel but not enough thought has been put into the rooms. Not enough plugs around the room and no mirror / plug to use to dry my hair. No kettle in the room - only a coffee maker. Large unused space in the room which could have been used for a table and chair. The extraction fan in the bathroom didn’t switch off at all and sounded like a jet engine if you left bathroom door open. Also the whole “no key” check in didn’t work with the QR Code that i was given so it needed intervention from the staff to get you into their WiFi! Plus point was an exceptionally comfortable bed
