This hotel is very modern and stylish. However, guests have raised concerns that it is not particularly functional or user friendly. Comments include not having any real hanging space, instead having drawers under the bed and not having anywhere to sit in the room, unless you get into bed. There have also been reports of lots of plug sockets and USB ports being broken and therefore not useable.
Guests refer to the hotel as being quite “hip” and staff don't seem particularly experienced in dealing with customers in a hospitality industry. This includes staff not going out of their way to be helpful and being inflexible, for example set times they want to clean your room.
