I chose The Foundry because I wanted a hotel that offered something different from other standard hotels. While I wanted a place that was comfortable and clean, I also wanted a hotel that would provide a different experience beyond just a hotel room. I liked the website photos of the suites available at The Foundry and booked a suite for two people for two nights. I was given one of the smaller units, understandably. We got room I-2 which comes with a small kitchenette (there was a range hood, induction stove top, cookware, dinnerware, basic condiments), a Nespresso coffee machine and a small fridge. There was a small dining table as well as a comfortable couch and coffee table. The double bed was on an elevated platform, as was the bathroom. We loved how spacious the room was, having the bed on an elevated platform meant that we could easily move around the room without bumping into each other or the bed. There was no enclosed storage, which may be a problem for people who are staying longer and would like to unpack their clothes. There is a clothes rail with a few hangers, and a coat rack for putting up your clothes/items. There is one open shelf under the bed for additional storage but I would say that it's not that easily accessible. The absolute standout for me was their breakfast served in a basket, which can be delivered to your room or to the rooftop terrace. You place your order with the reception (it's a generous menu), and they will deliver the basket to you at the specified time. The rooftop bar opens at 6pm and guests are given a welcome drink upon check-in. It's not open for breakfast (as in, no one is there to serve drinks) but guests are allowed to use it for breakfasts. On our second morning, we had to leave for our flight before 6am. The receptionist said that they also provide a packed breakfast, which understandably is limited to sandwiches. When we checked out the following morning, there was our packed sandwiches with two bottles of water at reception, all ready for us! We were very impressed with the hotel, it's room and their service. We found the location to be a great spot, as there were cafés and restaurants within a 2-min walk, as well as a deli directly opposite the hotel (which provided the delicious packed sandwiches!). There is actually a pub and a restaurant just outside the hotel, but we weren't disturbed by any sounds at night. Would definitely recommend a stay at this hotel for a great experience.
