Dont let the title fool you, I had an amazing time at SU29 and the hotel has wonderful staff, great location and great amenities; However one does have to wonder why the hotel has to continually bind itself to the 'boutique' hotel idea when a few simple adjustments could make it a much better experience for the guests. The open plan bathroom looks cool in the photos but imagine sleeping in the same room after taking a stinking dump? The rooms are beautifully decorated but lack any sort of storage space (no drawers, closets or hollowed spaces). Similarly, the table is chock full of items/amenities but that doesnt leave any space to open a laptop or even place a plate. Final short gripe is the lack of any sort of view in the junior studio. But as i said, in the end, my stay was actually defined by the always smiling, always helpful receptionists for whom none of my crazy asks or questions were too much! The breakfast was wonderful for a European city centre hotel with assortment of cakes, pancakes and fruits and was continuously stocked. The location was amazing as well but since the hotel is accessed through an inclined road with steps, it might be difficult to reach for some. The room had all the amenities you could ask for (kudos for the great coffee, AC and smart TV) and the wifi was flawless and quick! The hotel can easily hand out 5star experiences if only it decides to choose utility over aesthetics ...
