Great area, trendy hotel, good rooftop bar, rooms compact and a touch noisy.
The hotel is fine and has some good points...but for the nearly $500 + taxes so it should be. It's quite trendy with artworks on all floors and has a nice garden a level up from the street. The bar on the top floor is a nice place to hang out but don't expect too much in the way of service...and the plastic glasses are a little downmarket (I understand about the pool area). The pool, if you are planning to use it, is better described as a large ornamental bath...good for hopping into but that is it. The rooms are well enough appointed but quite compact (not ridiculously so) and the walls are quite thin. The hotel's dog friendly ...which is great for dogs and their owners...not good if you are within barking or snuffling distance. The windows would also appear to be single glazed so it can get quite noisy from the street. Rooms were clean, food was very good, Lobby staff helpful. Would I stay again? Don't think so. Would I eat in the adjoining restaurant? Absolutely. Would I go up to the roof for a good view over SOHO and a sundowner? Yes.
