The room was clean and basic. The roof terrace was incredible and the in house restaurant was excellent. The first floor lounge was full of people plugged into their laptops so there was no vibe, it felt like a workplace.

I love the vibe of the hotel. The location is awesome and the public spaces are so nice. I do wish to rooms had their own mini bars, but I get that it forces you to leave your room for a snack or a drink which is probably the point.

Odd hotel. Designed to be streamlined and intuitive but check in is glitchy and it is self check-in at a kiosk. This seems very budget level versus this price point. Since it had issues, it just made it annoying. Everything is controlled in room using a touch pad and it was just so so. Room experience didn’t match price point and it feels like they are forcing a vibe that doesn’t fit well.

Beautiful hotel! Great location, great view and walkable area. The downstairs lounge had fantastic drinks and service, very welcoming. All ages present and the DJ played a good selection of music. Check in was a bit of a mess since wifi was down. Had to go to a back room office to process our reservation payment, seemed suspicious at first. Wifi was not working the first day until resolved hotel wide. The upstairs lounge was pretentious and uninviting. We were seated and waiting for 20 minutes without service. Impossible to get a servers attention. We are an older couple and the servers entertained the young cool kids only.

I stayed on the 3rd floor and would not advise that if you want peace and quiet, particularly on a Friday/Saturday night, as the music noise from the lobby bar was very loud below me. I struggled to get to sleep before 2am.
