Just back from a few days here so thought I'd write a few comments.

I stayed in a Landmark City View room and there are some impressive views from the top floors of the hotel.



I'm a big fan of CitizenM hotels, and this is a similar concept. Small rooms but well designed so everything fits in. It's small, but you can at least walk around the bed.

The safe is in a drawer under the bed. There's a sink in the room, and a small bathroom with toilet and shower. Nice quality shampoo and body wash provided in large bottles.

The description lists a wardrobe, but it's all hooks. Plenty of hooks, all over the place! Plug sockets are also scattered around the room, some with USB-A ports.

The biggest issue is that the doors all slam shut. Why in this day and age hotels still persists with the loud door slam I don't know. Some hotels manage to have doors that close quietly and slowly, others like the heavy swing and slam. Anyway, you will at least know when others on your floor are entering or exiting.

It's a decent hotel. Comparing it to a CitizenM, it lacks the desk area and wardrobe but is fairly similar in what they are aiming at. There's a social lounge area on the 2nd floor but I suspect this will end up being closed for private events a lot of time. There's a bar with a restaurant on the ground floor, which was fairly busy in the evenings.

Nice addition to the Hilton brand though and worth a stay especially if travelling solo, There are family rooms with bunk beds, but that would be a lot of people in a very small space.

It's also worth mentioning all the staff, they were all very friendly and helpful.



There's a small seating area next to the bed, with a table big enough to just fit a laptop, so nowhere suitable to work from.







The room controls and tv can be controlled from the Hilton app.



Who knows what that means though? Didn't seem possible to convert it to a meaningful number (i.e. Celsius)
