Located quite far from city center in the "office building" part of town, this techie hotel is located quite close to a train station (but offers no parking). It is definitely the strangest hotel I've ever stayed in, with its futuristic room design.
The bed and it's comforter were my favorite aspects, big and comfy. I wouldn't want to stay here with someone in my room however as the shower and toilet occupy prominent places in the middle of the room. The tube like doors that can enclose them and adjustable "mood lighting" make them feel like space transport columns. The shampoo provided was on harsh on my hair and I would have preferred a conditioner as well (though I do like the big, bulk container provided rather than wasteful mini bottles).
Everything in the room (lights, temperature, blinds, TV) is controlled by an iPad which is very cool, but also annoying if the iPad locks up which it did every morning when the alarm I set went off. (Known bug they are trying to fix.) I also appreciated the US plug available (located by the sink, vs bed/desk but still meant no converter required to power a phone or laptop with long cord).
Overall, this trendy and unique hotel feels like you're sleeping in a well-funded startup.
