        The rooms were wonderfully quiet and sound proffed from the hallways and street, location was great, the hotel staff were very polite and helpfull.

        The surrounding streets are quiet and safe, the rooms are spotless and the common areas smell clean and fresh. This boutique hotel is amazing and overall, building outlook and toilets need to be improved. Minibar prices are reasonable, free internet access through kiosk PCs in lobby and staff is attentive without being obsequious.
