| - This place is giving me mixed signals. On one hand, it's the most adorable little boutique hotel that you ever could imagine and the staff is wonderfully accommodating. On the other hand, the shower doesn't operate too well, the rooms lack complimentary bottled water, the tvs are smaller than a standard ipad and the elevator is cool-looking (original from the 1900s) but it is a total biatch to operate and most times if an attendant isn't there, you're stuck lugging your suitcase up at least one flight of stairs.
I was leaning between a 3 and 4 star review and decided to skew towards the positive for the additional following reasons: free, fast wifi; a lovely pub/ restaurant serving up yummy food right downstairs; the hotel serves a dual purpose, functioning as an art gallery during the day in addition to a hotel; live music & karaoke goes down in their cocktail bar; the surrounding neighborhood is super walkable, eclectic and there is a ton to do at your fingertips.
Each room is decked out in various decor in line with a specific theme. From the stargazer to the faux naturale, to the teen queen, biker, and puzzle room, there is no shortage of character here. I stayed in the billio room, which clean, beautiful and comfortable despite the above mentioned shortcomings. Verdict: I'd still probably stay here again if the rates were fair enough.
