Brilliant Hotel. Centrally located. I'm so happy with the services that Ashleigh provided me as my flight was late, accommodated me with check out & gave me access to the library to complete my work. She is an absolute asset to you! Thanks Ash! Will definitely see your Hotel again.

The staff were excellent. However the enclosed patio which states no smoking stank of cigarette smoke which stirred up my daughters asthma and the shower was very mouldy. Great location 3 minutes walk to the crown and Southbank breakfast was sufficient and excellent barista coffee which was additional on top of breakfast

Room was clean and comfortable enough. The air conditioning is only in the living room so the bedroom was hot. The front desk staff were not very friendly upon checkout and seemed like they didn’t want to be there.
