Revolver is like a cool, queer-friendly frat house (which could be super fun!) — except I’m a 34-year-old woman who has regrettably aged out of the vibe.
Pros:
- Chic aesthetic.
- Large, stylish (but kinda dark) rooms.
- Amazing location near Central and Queen Stations.
- Friendly staff.
- Plenty of showers.
- Delmonica’s, the queer club downstairs, is super fun!
Cons:
- It is SO. F***ING. LOUD. OMG. Between the two nightclubs downstairs (one closes at 4AM!!!) and the people upstairs (making attempts at?) having sex - dear Lord, I did not have even one restful night! The complimentary earplugs, coupled with my noise-canceling headphones were no match. I was on the first floor, right above/inside (?) the subwoofers apparently. Please invest in soundproofing!
- Bathrooms were gross by evening — smelly, unflushed toilets, sticky floors. Not the fault of staff, but other guests.
- A bit unsocial in common areas. Not a big deal, just less friendly than I expected.
I’m writing this at 3AM before a morning flight, with bass vibrating my whole room (great DJ though) and yelling from drunk Saturday night patrons. I’m not a light sleeper, but unfortunately I am a bit too grown for this.
If you’re younger than me, I love this for you!
But if you’re at that stage of life where you like to do your hour-long night routine in the privacy of your own bathroom — and excessive noise has started to give you tinnitus and a headache — lovingly skip this one, babe. Your ears will thank me 😘
