I had a lovely stay at The Trade Boutique Hotel, with unique and beautiful interior design that feels like stepping back in time. The rooftop bar offers stunning views of the city, and I truly enjoyed the great breakfast options. However, the noise from the nearby pub was a bit disruptive, and the parking fee caught me off guard. Overall, it was a nice experience and I would return again.

The Standard Queen Room was clean and nicely furnished, but a bit small for my liking. The bed was comfortable, though the pillows were not ideal. Additionally, the lack of a full mirror and vanity area made getting ready a bit challenging.

Breakfast at The Wes bistro was beautiful and included, though the spread was somewhat basic and could use more variety. The pastries weren't as fresh as I would have hoped, but the overall quality of the hot breakfast was good.

The facilities were decent, featuring a lovely rooftop area that unfortunately served no food. It would be great to have more options directly on the rooftop rather than depending on room service.
