A great hotel. I was here for a film festival and it was perfectly located for that. But it was also just a very solid place to stay. Solid vibes, good food, and just really cool. Great bed too, a rarity in hotels

The carpenter was a lovely experience as it’s a very unique Concept in a fun city. The Room comes with earplugs as the hotel accommodations are pretty much converted dormitories, but they are styled well and very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
