    A renovation is needed in the room, as it is visible that the bathroom and toilet is old. But the design of the room is great and itself is spacious.

    The reception team is very responsive and helpful! The location is perfect with a lot of shops, bars, close to the historic center and walking distance to the beach. Good breakfasts.

    Overall, I would stay here again, but would request a room without a permanent blue light on.

    My room had a weird blue light strip across the ceiling that didn't have a switch, so in order to turn it off, I had to take the key card out, which stopped the air conditioning. Also, it would be nice to have a few more products in the bathroom, like a shower cap, and maybe some lotion.

    We stayed at the Born location. The hotel had charm and character. The staff was friendly and helpful. Love the coffee/tea bar. We didn't have breakfast, so I can't comment on that. Overall, I would stay here again, but would request a room without a permanent blue light.

    The room felt a bit claustrophobic. The toilet cubicle had no privacy and was v small. Also there was an animal we think on the roof so it was very noisy which meant we didn’t sleep well.

    Room was configured weirdly with glass shower in the middle of the room and stairs to wind around to bathroom. Shower leaked so dangerous to walk to the bathroom in the night. Sad excuse for a gym.

    Modern, great location, nice shared space with free coffee and tea and cookies

    This is not a standard accommodation with boring rooms. The location of the hotel is great. I was pleasantly surprised by the staff and the service, which was up to the standard of a much more expensive hotel.

    Room didn't really have a window. The window we had faced the inside courtyard. We would have preferred some fresh air. Breakfast was not great - not fresh.

    The location was fantastic. It was right in the area we wanted to be in. Staff were very friendly and easy to deal with; spoke and understood English. The rooms and vibe of the hotel was unusual and different from other accommodations stayed at. Common area was fantastic and provided all the comforts we needed - hot coffee, great tea and a place to just hang out.

    I would say the cleaners refreshing my room despite placing the sign saying it wasn’t necessary was a tad annoying. My room didn’t require it and they still came in. When they did tidy the room there was not much changed other than the bed being fixed. The floor would still be dusty in some pets with old glasses left behind also after a ‘refresh’.

    One of the best parts would have to be the space of the room, it was perfect for 1 person and I was able to move and settle myself. The amenities were great and the common areas were well equipped. Overall the atmosphere was the best part as it was such a relaxing environment.

    The room was very hot. The AC hadn't been turned on for the season and when we got back in the evening after walking all day, it was pretty uncomfortable in the room. We had to leave our front door open for a few hours to get the room down to a decent temperature.

    Very chic and hip hotel. The staff was VERY accommodating. We loved being near the park.

    The cleaning could be better, the bed was tidy, but the rest of the room was not cleaned during the stay. The breakfast area was quite small, with just a few places to sit down, so you have to be on time to eat behind a table. If you don't mind eating on couch, its perfect.

    It was was a spatious room with a special design. the hotel is very nice located and the staff is friendly. The breakfast has a small slection, but quality is good.

    Quirky and fun decoration . Each room has different led lights that shine down through a fly screen style curtain ….makes it easier to find your room and stops other guests blundering into your door ! Wonderful touch of a communal area with access to water ,tea and coffee with jars of sweets and biscuits . Ideally situated in the city within easy reach of so many sights with the Picasso museum just around the corner and plenty of places to eat out.

    The shower in the bedroom was a bit weird but nothing too crazy. I'm glad I was by myself and not with other people where we'd have to shower in front of each other.

    Great bar downstairs to relax. Great location for the tours I was doing that left from the nearby station.

    There were bikes in the entrance, for guests to use, but they were expensive compared to other rentals in the area. I would think that bikes kept at the hotel would either be complementary or a discount rate.

    Lighthearted, great second floor social area and creative hall way and room layout. Big windows to open.
