amazing stay above a cool pub!

cozy design soundproofing
the hotel boasts a stylish and cozy design, i noticed great attention to detail! everything felt warm and cute. the check-in process happened at the pub downstairs, this added to the place's charm. despite the lively atmosphere, my room on the upper floor remained completely quiet due to good soundproofing.

street noise breakfast variety
I was initially impressed with the hotel's style. however, the noise from the street was more than i anticipated. the windows did little to block out the sound (i think they need better insulation). also, the breakfast lacked variety. The same options were available each morning, i wished for some change.

A Hotel Stay, Some Issues Existed

excellent location friendly staff cute greeting noisy fan locked panel loud hum
The location WAS excellent. It was close to Chinatown and Soho. The greeting at the hotel was very cute. All staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
The air vent fan in the ceiling WAS noisy. It could not be turned off all night. The control panel was LOCKED. Another fan in the bathroom produced a loud hum, also impossible to turn off.
