We had a great stay here in the Executive 2 bedroom apartment. The hotel opened only a couple of months before our trip, so it still looked and felt very fresh and new, just like the photos on the website. There are some lovely toiletries (by Nood Australia) provided in the bathrooms, comprising shampoo, conditioner, body wash and a body lotion.
We appreciated the kitchen facilities in the apartment, and really liked the spacious fridge and freezer, especially as there were no minibar provisions to push aside. However, it would have been helpful to have had information about the different wash cycles for the dishwasher and washing machine. The washing machine was quite loud when we ran it. The rooms seem to be reasonably soundproof, as we couldn’t hear our next door neighbours, but I think we heard what may have been their washing machine while we were sitting in our living area.
Some things could have been improved. We found the mattresses were quite soft, even though the hotel is very new. The room was overall very clean, but the crossbars on the coffee table legs could have used a good dusting. And the only tea available was Lipton black tea, no herbal brews for an evening cuppa.
The hotel is an easy stroll away from the penguin observation area and the city centre. We found a great deal in the post-New Year period, which made it exceptional value, and we’d happily stay here again if we’re ever back in Burnie.
