Needed to stay an extra night on a work trip June ‘22 but my hotel was unfortunately fully booked so stayed here for one night as close by. The hotel is well situated, has plenty of great features such a rooftop bar and a Blue Bottle coffee inside. The staff are friendly and efficient and checked me in early as the room was ready which was greatly appreciated. However, this is where it ends. I can honestly say, as someone who stays in hotels constantly, I have never seen a room so small. It was genuinely smaller the bathroom of the hotel I had spent the week at (and this was by no means a big bathroom). New York is famed for its small hotel rooms, but this is beyond that. The only way to open my suitcase was to put it on the bed and the bathroom sink is located immediately as you open the door to the room, as it was presumably impossible to fit within the actual, micro-sized bathroom itself. The only experience I can liken it too is the few hostels I stayed in when travelling in my late teens and early twenties. The justification for the price point of this hotel seems to be that these tiny rooms feature somewhat modern decor but this is a complete overreach in my opinion. Trying to position amongst well-known on trend hotels by adding nice soaps and walk-in showers to storage cupboards is an outright cheek and the price point should be adjusted accordingly to the offering. Thankfully, I spent a grand total of 4.5 hours here but would not stay again and could not recommend.
