The heating in the room did it work. It was freezing outside and the room wouldn’t warm up. We changed rooms twice and were offered a few room options but all rooms were cold. I felt terrible for the staff as there was no heating on the main floor reception, espresso bar and restaurant. I emailed the management but they never replied.

This is a unique property. Very urban chic. The rooms are comfortable with furnishings that are a bit different (concrete post, wall and ceiling but it works! Huge windows overlooking the city and the staff was very personable and helpful. Need recommendations for dinner or attractions, just ask. You will not be disappointed.
