From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt calm, stylish, and welcoming. The design is modern and minimal yet incredibly comfortable, and every detail feels thoughtfully curated. My room was spotless, cozy, and beautifully put together — the kind of space you look forward to coming back to after a long day. The bed was especially comfortable, and the little touches throughout the room made a big difference. The staff were friendly, professional, and always happy to help with anything I needed. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the overall vibe of the hotel was relaxed but refined. The location was perfect as well — easy to get around, with great spots to eat and explore nearby. I’d definitely stay at Drift again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish, and memorable place to stay. ##### Sophia Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Maja Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Staff were great , friendly and helpful.
