An electric chair fashioned with some old hosepipe does not a boutique hotel make... Firstly, on arrival in the room, the aircon was set to 27 degC heating - it was swealtering, and completely wasteful to do that, seemingly in all rooms.
Secondly, the rooms are basically just pods with an old, tired, bathroom block. Reasonably well appointed, but just not well thought through. Also, the noise. Someone was mopping the bathroom next door at about 1am, and I could hear every moment of it. I was on the ground floor so expected some noise, but this was surprisingly poor.
Lastly, breakfast was basic. The juice was watered down concentrate and not great. Coffee was mediocre, and the hot breakfast was on a par with some of the cheapest hotels I've visited. Sorry, but the redesign might look pretty but the result is frankly not as good as it could have been.
