Super comfortable stay!
Great boutique hotel whose room (though small) was smartly designed to make the most of every inch; it never felt cramped or claustrophobic.
Bed was super comfortable and clean. Would stay here again.

Convenient and cozy
It's a nice hotel. The room was cozy (small), but well thought out, with features like a fold-down desk. The lobby was comfortable for a group to sit and chat. Helpful staff. And it's all super convenient, an easy walk to trains, etc.
