I just wrapped up a fab weekend at Velvet Hotel for a friend's birthday. The location was awesome, right at the heart of Canal Street, so there was a bit of evening noise, but honestly, it added to the vibe. The staff were super friendly and the decor in our rooms was stylish and quirky, which I loved! However, I did encounter a few hiccups like dusty corners and some noise from outside that interrupted my sleep a bit. Overall, it was a great spot and I'd definitely go back.

They had some fantastic amenities, including high-quality bathroom products. But a couple of things like having no room slippers or other standard 4-star amenities were missing.
