Stayed two nights last week of September. Great locations, and automatic check in and check out was fine. The problem really is the rooms, they are tiny and very badly designed. We barely were in ours and found it very difficult to use. We couldn't unpack our suitcases, and there is no space. The floor bed is annoying, and perhaps... More

European hotel rooms are small for what Americans are often used to, but the Hi Matic hotel room was not a place I would ever recommend. For two people, the room wasn't feasible. Despite the funky colors, the design of the room was awful--mattress on the floor was not particularly comfortable and sheets were not soft. I hit my nose... More

A case of pure design over function - toilet less than 2 feet from where you sleep. If you are staying with a partner or would be psrtner prepare to get very very intimatd in ways you never though, or wanted. - stupid toilet screen (you couldnt call it a door) doesnt open or close properly - bed is ok...

I don't understand what all the fuss the previous good reviews were about. No offence, but did we stay in the same hotel? It's like the hotelier thought, "Hey, here are some super small rooms. Let's just make them funky and bright, call it a luxury boutique hotel, get a superstar designer to work on it, and rip tourists off."... More

This was not worth the cost. The rooms are extremely small and I slept on what I would consider a wrestling matt. The breakfast was a hard roll and bad coffee. Fire alarm went off twice in a week stay and woke up with a fireman pounding on my door. Alarm set off by cigarette smoke. The bathroom has zero... More

This is the worst designed design hotel ever. To go to the toilet in the night I had to step on the bed over my partner, put on the full room lights (no lamps for reading) then loudly lever open the badly designed toilet door and then do my business 1 foot from her head. ahh Le Romance! This is... More

I stayed here for 3 nights, after a work trip. Great for a single traveller or couple. (Not alot of privacy (bathroom wise) so if travelling with a friend that's worth being aware of). Loved the eco friendly concept. The design & colour is striking and fresh. Rooms are cute & cozy and spotlessly clean. Great location, close to great... More

The hotel itself is lovely. Self check in on computers so there's not many staff around. But the rooms are modern, although small, and the organic breakfast is sufficient. iPod docks in the room help and the beds are reasonably comfortable. However on the last morning of my stay, as I was getting ready for the day and to check... More

I stayed here for 5 nights in July and shared a room with my sister. Our favorite parts were the bright modern décor, comfy beds, and organic breakfast (nice coffee machine). The room would have been nicer for a couple vs friends as the shower and toilet have clear walls that overlook the bed (entire room). Not much privacy, but... More
