The host (s) were very welcoming. Good conversation right away and everyone seemed content and friendly. The room (bookcase room) was smaller than I imagined. However it was perfect for us for one night. But I wouldn't spend more than two nights in this room. However I would spend many nights in one of the larger rooms as this hotel is amazing. The communal showers and toilets were the cleanest and most comfortable I've used yet. The many books in the library are great for spending some quiet time. The bar is nice and trendy and has a very nice staff that are knowledgeable and helpful with everything. Outside space was very comfortable after walking all day. The fan in the room is a nice touch but the air in the room isn't circulated well once the door is closed leaving the air stale and stuffy. And you cannot open the window either. This a brilliant hotel in the middle of one my favourite cities but this room is only good for maximum, 2 nights.
