Bewertet von @hotgirlfoodies: I absolutely loved my stay here. The waterfront view from my balcony was stunning, and grabbing drinks at the trendy bar downstairs was the perfect way to end the day. The whole place has such a fun, modern vibe.

5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The hotel is actually a converted bank building, which explains some of the quirky room layouts and small spaces.
💡Housekeeping is by request only, and some guests report they don't line the trash cans with bags.
💡The standard rooms have an 'IKEA-style' minimalist design that some find a bit dormitory-like.
💡The windows have a green tint to them, which can make the view look a bit strange.
💡The boardwalk performers outside use speakers, and the noise can easily bleed into the river-facing rooms.
