6/10 Good

Good location, great free yoga, nicely decorated. But rooms have no sound-proofing so it's very loud at night, and there's a bar right next door. We were in a private room which didn't get cleaned at all during our 4 night stay, and there was a bad mould smell in the bathroom. Staff aren't very friendly, feels like you're inconveniencing them even at check-in.
