As far as the room goes, this was a very clean, very quiet place to stay. It was a no frills room, but had everything you need for a place to sleep and shower. We loved having access to the rooftop patio, it was a perfect place for an evening cocktail. We were only there for a weekend, so I don't know what the shared kitchen is like at other times. It was nice to have it available, but it needed some serious cleaning. Generally the idea of a "shared" space conjurs up questionable levels of tidiness and this was no exception. Overall it was a pleasant stay and I would stay here again.
