The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff in a great location close to cafes and shopping. However, the dining experience could be more organized with better service. Pricing is fair for the value provided.

The hotel offers fresh and clean rooms, but there was some dust in corners and issues with the bedsheet. On the positive side, it provides free WiFi and private parking on-site. Service was exceptional, especially at reception and in the restaurant, with attentive staff making the stay hassle-free. The location is top-notch, near various attractions and giving a relaxing vibe, yet not the liveliest part of the city. The dining experience was great with a wide selection of tasty foods. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor room issues overshadowed by excellent service and convenient location.

The hotel is located right in the center of the CBD, making it super convenient for exploring the city with shops and offices nearby. The rooms are spacious, functional, and clean, plus the tram stop is just a stone's throw away. However, the rooms lack some basic amenities like a hairdryer and coffee, and the pillows could be more comfortable.

The hotel's location is perfect for exploring the city, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and the tram terminus right at the door. However, finding the carpark could be a bit challenging due to a tight space.

My stay at the hotel was overall great. The room was spacious, and the bed was very comfortable, but it did get quite hot with the air conditioning running all night. The noise from the bus terminal outside was a bit bothersome. The service was a bit hit or miss; while they eventually refunded my cost, it took multiple attempts to get things right. The location was fantastic, with easy access to restaurants and a great facility. Unfortunately, the dining experience was subpar, with some issues regarding the breakfast service.

The hotel is very central to the city, convenient for most places we needed to visit, though parking can be tricky at times. The rooms, while clean, felt tired with noticeable stains that were not pleasant. We even discovered underwear from a previous guest under the sofa bed. The service was a mix - some staff were polite but difficult to understand, others like Sammy at reception were incredibly helpful late in the evening. Dining was sub-par with slow service and disappointing quality. The location was good overall for its proximity to key areas, but parking can be a challenge, especially with coach buses around. Facilities were decent but not exceptional.

I have mixed feelings about my stay at the hotel. While the rooms were very neat and tidy and a good size, I found them to be very tired and dated, especially considering the $300 per night rate. The service from the friendly and efficient staff was a plus, even though they seemed overwhelmed at times. The location, although in the heart of the city with proximity to a shopping center and good restaurants, had some inconveniences like having to park in an alternative lot. The dining options were not very tempting, and the prices felt high for the quality. The facilities overall were decent, but not exceptional.

The hotel's location is perfect, right in the heart of the city with restaurants and shops all around. The rooms were not properly cleaned on arrival with hair still in the bathroom and drink stains on the counter, though they were cleaned up every morning. The service was exceptional, with polite and helpful staff, but there were some long wait times during check-in and check-out. The dining options were basic, and I had to ask for coffee multiple times. Overall, a convenient spot but with room for improvement in cleanliness and efficiency.
