Staff were very helpful. Hotel rooms are in need of a renovation, particularly the bathroom with a tiny shower cubicle. The mini kitchen was good although appliances needed a clean on the exterior. Washing machine and dryer in tge room was much appreciated.

Good room with great views of the harbour but travellers should know that this is really not a proper hotel, much more a residential block renting out suites. There is no bar or restaurant, a very basic reception service, no breakfast. You really are self catering which is fine so long as you know what to expect.

A convenient hotel close to the waterfront in the CBD. A comfortable but older room. The bathroom is adequate and clean but needs modernising.
