I found the location excellent for accessing local cafes. The neighborhood restaurants are also very convenient I stayed in a king room and the decor was stylish. The room was clean upon arrival I must say.
The room was a bit small it is true.

great locationnice neighborhoodconnected feelingsmall roomlimited spaceluggage management
the location was great. i found the neighborhood quite nice and not too touristy. the hotel gave a different perspective, since i previously stayed in the cbd. i have to admit i preferred staying in this area. it felt more connected.
the room was really small. one could not even put a suitcase on the floor without it being in the way. i knew we booked a small room, but this was really small. it was quite challenging to manage luggage in the limited space.
