I really hate to leave this kind of review because the staff here were genuinely kind and accommodating when I brought up my concerns. The hotel is in a beautiful, walkable area and the building itself looks lovely from the outside. The front desk team and doorman were welcoming, and I appreciated how quickly the manager acted to help when I raised an issue.
That said, cleanliness is a non-negotiable for me—and unfortunately, my experience missed the mark. On my second night, I noticed the main showerhead was covered in black mold, and the additional shower fixtures had significant limescale and buildup. I was mortified realizing I had already showered with it the night before. Room service initially offered to clean it on the spot, but I declined and asked to speak with management. The manager kindly upgraded me to a different room, which I truly appreciated.
However, the new room smelled heavily of cigarettes, and while it had windows, they didn’t open—so there was no way to air it out. It also felt dusty and not properly vacuumed, especially under the bed. I didn’t feel comfortable using the in-room appliances like the water kettle, which had visible buildup inside. Although I was told it was just limescale, the lack of attention to detail made me uneasy.
The hotel has potential, and I want to stress how lovely the staff were—but until the cleanliness and air quality issues are addressed, I personally wouldn’t return.
