Self check in was super easy. Bed was comfy. Great location.
The room was clean, the bed was soft, and it was close to restaurants, the theatre, Parliament House and Chinatown. We didn't hear any noise from the street and we had an excellent view of the city. The staff are friendly. The hotel carpark is tight but there is great peace of mind that the car is safe.
There is a bit of a walk to the tram stop, and there aren't many breakfast options around, but the hotel does provide a buffet breakfast. Not a reflection on the hotel, but there was a rally for a few hours at Parliament House and some of the noise drifted up to the room. We didn't have trouble connecting to the wifi to stream, but there was a bit of trouble staying connected.
Amazing, convenient location and clean, super comfortable rooms. The staff was super friendly and mentioned that there was a conference going on in the area and apologized in advance that some of the elevators might have a wait, but we didn't experience that at all and the hotel was lovely. I can see why everyone attending the conference wanted to stay there!
Location was fantastic Bar and restaurant greatStaff really friendly Rooms on the small side but very clean and comfortable and nice styling
Bathroom was very smallCouldn’t get the temperature lower than 22 degrees on the air conditioner, too warm to sleep comfortably (but thats only a small complaint and personal comfort)
Great bgathroom/toilet and god sized bedroom.
Pillows were a bit too firm
bed size, denseness and comfort, pillows excellent
no milk for in room coffee, no biscuits
Beds were amazing, room was clean. Breakfast was really good. Staff friendly.
The couches in the room were not comfortable
Location; Pool; Facilities; Buffet breakfast
Parking is expensive even with guest discount
Perfect location very clean
Rooms are very warm and its a hassle having to call down to staff to get aircon permissions
The room and view, and the location near the theatre
Parking on site and able to leave anytime the next day - great as we had a matinee show
Little ramp in to the bathroom tripped me almost every time….
Location was wonderful! The bed and room were clean and comfortable. The
Room was a little too small
King size bed
No invalid access to pool. Only 2 english breakfast tea on arrival and one small milk.
Location was great, good restaurants nearby.
Breakfast tables were very dirty and not enough staff were there to clean up. We had to wait till 3 to check in which was also pretty inconvenient.
Love this hotel. Have stayed here multiple times. The refurbishment has made it a real quality hotel. The beds are so comfortable. The rooms are always clean and it’s just a really nice vibe.
Can get pricy
Location
Very loud noise in our room all the time near roof top pool
Soft beds, pillows and towels. Great pool
