    This location is right towards the end of the touristy area so we did have to walk A LOT to get where we wanted to go, or Uber. Also, being on the side of the walkways the NOISE was terrible at night! We are usually not fussy with a bit of outside noise but the horns & sirens made it really difficult to sleep some nights. They do provide ear plugs which is good and they are meant to provide a white noise machine but our room didn’t have one. Also, no elevator which was a little annoying but we made do!

    The rooms were very cute and it was nice and clean. We liked the security on the doors too which meant we didn’t need a key!

    our first room (101) was VERY SMALL, Is only for 1 persona maximum, and there was a problem in the bathroom that when we were in the shower the water came out, also the sink is very small, has little space to put stuff, there is only one coffe table in the room, they need to put another coffe table next to the bed and something in the bathroom to put personal stuff, room 101 was bigger but also the are is NOISY, the windows need to have something to isolate the noise from outside

    It was a great location, walking distance from bars and restaurants, the place was clean and the lobby was really nice

    Mostly, it was very noisy outside. The hotel is located in the corner of two busy roads with loud traffic even at night. The barn door to the toilet did not close fully; there was always a gap of 3-4 fingers and thus no privacy. The code lock to the room was also no great as it doesn't always respond.

    It was neat, clean and a cool design room. The hotel itself was quiet (but not the surroundings) and good shower. There was free water, tea and coffee. Walking distance to interesting places. The bed and pillows are comfortable.

    The hot water in the room was very unreliable. The first night was good, but every night after no hot water.

    The location was fantastic in the heart of downtown, able to reach everything within a 20 min walk.

    Early morning vehicle noise (we had a room at the fornt of the building). Many rough sleepers made the area feel unsafe although we had no issues.

    The roof terrace was nice, only a short walk to the 'Gaslamp Quarter' for places to eat.

    Location was within walking distance of Petco stadium and gaslamp district. Cute roof top lounge area, overall the place was nice and clean.

    THE NOISE! The room we stayed in had paper thin glazing onto a very busy street. Sleeping was impossible, kept getting woken up. No Parking for guests We spent over £70 in overnight car parks (stayed 2 x nights)

    My room was tiny with no drinks facilities. Checking in through sonder was hard work after booking through booking.com. A lady with a young child was trying to book in as I was leaving and really struggled. I helped as I could but no one there to help her.

    Roof terrace was amazing. Room was well decorated.
