The Bricks Hotel

The front desk women reviewers flag as dismissive and phone-absorbed; the night staff, male, is consistently described as attentive and willing to listen. One room returned from a full day out unserviced despite a face-to-face morning request, because the make-up button had not been pressed.

• One reviewer appreciated the raw industrial aesthetic of the building, describing it as deliberately exposing structural elements usually kept hidden, and noted the bathroom had a large shower head but a fiddly valve with no handheld option.
• Housekeeping failures: one returned after a full day out to find beds unmade and used cups still on the table, despite a personal face-to-face request at the front desk at 7 AM.
• One woman travelling with her Swiss husband reported that front desk staff consistently addressed only him, ignored her presence, and sighed audibly when asked to put their phones down to assist guests.
• A reviewer noted the key card system automatically cuts power when the card is removed, meaning the room will not be serviced while guests are out unless they explicitly request it through a separate in-room button.
• One reviewer called out the local breakfast specialties as worth trying, while another found the breakfast selection lacking basics like fresh fruit and proper coffee.
• The hotel has a deliberate industrial aesthetic with exposed structural elements, which some guests found appealing and distinctive.
• At least one room was returned in an unclean state, with stained cups, dirty surfaces, and hair found on tables and in the fridge.
• Only one key card is provided per room, and the room makeup button must be pressed before leaving or housekeeping will not service the room.
• The area is noisy with construction, tricycles, and street activity audible from the rooms throughout the day.
• The security guards, luggage staff, and male night-shift staff as notably helpful and attentive, in contrast to front desk experiences.
