What the reviews say

Staff here -- Jerome, Heino, Xolani -- walked guests to streets that felt uncertain at night, a level of care the reviews call beyond what most four-stars offer. The rooftop pool is small, and weekend noise from outside can carry into the rooms.

  • Specific staff members by name, with Jerome, Xolani, and Heino praised repeatedly for going beyond standard service.
  • One reviewer noted that staff walked with them through streets that did not feel comfortable, offering a level of personalised attention they described as exceeding what many larger hotels provide.
  • The rooftop bar includes a complimentary welcome drink and a small pool, making it a popular spot to unwind during the day.
  • One reviewer flagged that outside noise, including loud music, was audible in the rooms on at least one night.
  • The rooftop bar has a small pool and serves drinks, with several guests specifically mentioning it as a highlight.
  • Rooms are described as spacious, clean, and well equipped, though one reviewer noted the bed size could be larger.
  • Staff provided personalised concierge-style assistance including walking guests to nearby destinations.
  • Bree Street is around the corner, offering numerous restaurants and bars within a short walk.
  • One reviewer described the front desk experience at check-in as setting a strong tone for the entire stay, with Jerome specifically highlighted.
