If you love noise & nightclubs and a young crowd around the pool & area then this is for you. It is a very noisy busy area & you can hear the nightclub music in your room all night. The room was not clean, a small space & loud rattling air con. Corridor and room had a funny smell & felt dark & gloomy The staff are great & friendly & the price is good for this area

Great hotel, I will definitely recommend this hotel, if you are young, vibrant, and love to party, it’s located right in the middle of the party scenes, the rooftop even though it’s small, it’s nice, the check-in was smooth and pretty everything I needed was a walking distance away

Decent place to stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Just keep in mind you are staying in the nightlife district and it gets loud and stays loud at night. They do provide earplugs which help massively. Only other minor comment is they used some sort of perfume in the room that was a bit strong at first. I recommend the room.

Boutique Stay

Fabulous hotel with interesting themed rooms and quirky decor. Very clean and well presented with helpful staff. We (couple) had a suite on the 10th floor including an outdoor private hot tub. Stayed in December so sadly the seasonal pool and bar on the roof was closed - hence choosing room with hot tub was a good call. The area is busy and full of clubs and nightlife into the early hours so bear that in mind if it’s not your thing - outdoors is noisy at night and can be heard from 10th floor balcony, although after closing door can sleep undisturbed.

In general, the area is lively and full of shopping centers, restaurants, and nightclubs. However, it is extremely noisy at night, and you can’t sleep before 4 a.m. I wouldn’t recommend this area for people looking for a quiet place to stay.

As a single male traveller it is frustrating that as this hotel is surrounded by gentlemens clubs you get apporached by several workers each time you pass. The sheets were not changed at all over a 7 day stay. This i would habe expected to be done at least once if not twice. Other than that the hotel was comfortable

Nice Boutique in the thick of everything at night

Really pleasant hotel and great staff. A little quirky. It's in the busy nightlife area but a bit of an oasis nonetheless. Cabs can't get to the front door and will drop around the corner. Can be a bit noisy outside.

This hotel is ideal if you are wanting to be close to the nightlife. Our last night we had to come back to hotel around 3am as flying the next day, hotel is right on the strip, we were on second floor and our window looking onto the bars yet we never heard much noise and managed to get to sleep fine. The rooftop pool is small and not lots of beds but we always managed to get some with a group of 8. The bar man was great, the cocktails and bar snacks were tasty! We managed to keep one of our rooms on for aater check out, the staff were really helpful with this. I would definitely recommend if you want to be close to the nightlife.
