Area around was a little messy and run down but that is to no fault on the annex. The annex itself was perfect for me and my wife's stay. Perfect decor and vibe.

Lobby smelled like sewage but was fairly well set up otherwise. Expensive for what you get and service to room could be slightly improved.

Everything is great here. The decor, the care with the room. The only downside is not having lift. Take that aside and this is a dream come true.

Loved this stay. Only cons would be that there’s no elevator and that the parking just outside the hotel was VERY expensive. But other than that, it was a really great hotel!

I found that the room was quite nice and comfortable. I would have preferred to have a coffee maker in the room over the turntable. The staff were responsive to text but this hands off in terms of approach. You are given a code to the front door and a code to the room. Someone next to me had left their dog in the room so I woke up in the morning to a loud whining dog for more than an hour. Staff responded but the people had left the hotel. Over all good for the price and location.

What I liked: - Check-in by texto with doors codes - Large free space in the room - A turn table instead of a TV - Shampoo and shower gl that smell sooo good - A lot of charging stations for my car nearby. Not at the hotel, but 2 mins walk is the next best thing !

An amazing stay! The staff were so helpful and friendly. The surrounding area is very cool and I particularly the street art. Close to several interesting attractions but also great to walk around. The room was stunning, really comfortable and so clean. Check in and out was efficient and so easy. You feel really safe in and around the accommodation. I couldn’t recommend enough!
