*We had was a deluxe queen we stayed for 8 nights. Room was spotless and clean when we arrived. Thought it odd that there was no air con as the rooms got quite stuffy and hot during early hours of the morning. We were lucky to have had a sliding door but found mozzies got in so that was the end of that. Noticed our room wasnt serviced everyday however room had great space, was comfortable and cosy. *Elevator was a drab as it took ages some days to get to ground floor or to floor 4. Had to wait a few times as the cleaners were using them during the day. Also found the elevator rather small. Noticed the doors were really dirty. *Laundry, somedays i would go to do laundry and found that there were duvets, cleaning cloths and tea towels in the washing machine or dryers. $4 per load per w/m and dryer. *Kitchen on level 1 had great space and clean, possible thought to supply a broom and dustpan so guests can sweep floors as cleaners weren't always around. Fridges were not clean found alot of spoilt food in there which we took upon our selves to empty into the bins. Loved the storage containers with condiments etc from guests who left for guest use very handy ** Staff were lovely and friendly. ** Parking was $25 per vehicle per day onsite ** Gym, this is situated next door and is at an extra cost. **Location is amazing right in the CBD found it quite quiet and serene staying here. Although the faults i listed seem much it really is a beautiful place to stay.

The lady that greeted us at reception was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and kind. Our room was just what we needed and pretty clean. Breakfast wasn’t included in our stay. The location is great. We very much enjoyed the Botanical Gardens across the street. Not far to city center. I love that they donate their profits. I would totally stay here again. Thank you for the memories!

Staff were really friendly, and the time we stayed the surroundings were pretty quiet. It's well located and central. The only thing to bear in mind is that only having one lift in the building makes checking out on time trickier if you're higher up and there are lots of groups also trying to check out. It's a not a criticism, rather a practicality check, and just something to be aware of!!

The location of Hotel Give across the road from the Botanic Garden and the Arts Centre and only a few blocks away from the city centre makes it an ideal place to stay. The Number 6 Bistro and Bar is really handy, but I would prefer it if it was open seven days a week and in the same building as Hotel Give. I used the kitchen facilities fro breakfast, so didn't try the buffet breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was far better than I was expecting. I was impressed by my large roof balcony (although far too wet and windy to use it on my visit) and the lovely view to the Botanic Gardens from it. Comfortable bed, the heating worked and a nice bathroom. Only improvement I can think of is a desk and chair, as I got a kink in my back from trying to work on my laptop off the bedside table. It's walkable from here. The Botanic Gardens across the road is worth a visit. There's a restaurant/café next door. Bus 8 from the airport has a stop not too far away, so that's convenient. I would stay here again and recommend this to others.

The lo ation is superb and close to dining, shopping and across the road from the Botanical Gardens. It is clean and comfortable and i stayed in a premium room with own bathroom. Overall pleasantly surprised as it has a backpacker section as well. The bad things or where improvement is needed. Housekeeping ... asked for tissues was told ill need to go downstairs if not today ill get it tomorrow. 3 nights later still nothing. Checkout time 10am is crazy and any extra hour is $20 max 2 hrs. No flexibility on this ... make it worldwide standard of 11 am and keep ot simple. Overall happy with my stay but few small things could be improved on
