The place was clean as, the aircon as soon as you walked through the main door was amazing with it being red hot outside! Plus the aroma smelt so so good. The guy early morning checking out didn’t seem to know what he was doing on the computer. Took his time still wasn’t sorted, but we had to leave because my uber was outside waiting! Overall great stay would recommend the hotel! 5*

The staff were amazing — super helpful, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating throughout our stay. The location is perfect, so close to everything, and having the light rail just outside made it really easy to get around. Highly recommend!

This property was amazing, so close to the centre, trams and trains to get anywhere we needed. Its right next to a theater and food center, and our room was right next to the lift, I had seen other reviews saying there was a lot of noise, we experienced none of this, it was really quiet and slept really well. Lovely room and bathroom, the bed was really comfy. Loved the idea of being able to chose if we wanted the room cleaned daily by putting a sign on the door, we dont always feel a room needs to be cleaned all the time and it also came with cash back to use on food or drinks in the hotel. Staff were brilliant and they helped when needed. Felt very safe in the hotel too with entry only being for guests. Its around the Chinatown area, so there are so many lovely places to eat close by. Would recommend staying here is visiting the city.

Staff are friendly and nice. The area a bit small but very convenient. The rail tra sport is just a few steps away from the hotel. I personally do not really like the room as it is a bit dusty and not very clean. Other than that... overall it is still a pleasant stay.
