Cool vibe, rooms stark
I had read a number of the reviews so I was not surprised by what I found at this hotel. The lobby area on a Saturday afternoon was a cross between a library and an upscale pub full of youngish trendy types on their macs. Later, the lobby became busier but generally the same people, none of whom wanted to look like they had made the least effort! But generally the atmosphere was relaxed and not intimidating. It did get very noisy especially when he dj started up at 10. The bar etc stays open unil 4am so expect noise downstairs and from taxis etc when you are in your room. Staff were all helpful, friendly. The medium room was reasonably sized but not spacious and it was extremely stark. It felt a bit like a student's room with just a desk, bed and a tv on top of the mini bar. I think this did not help minimising noise although this was mainly from outside noise despite bing in 7th floor. The room was well stocked with snacks and drinks but it seemed mean that everything had a price tag -including tea and water- and that there is no coffee although there is a kettle.
