Good for couple, not family. Very good location. Clean rooms but one of our rooms (the biggest one) got smoke smell. Put the room make up on the handle but just provided new towels, didn’t tidy up. Shower is too high and water splashed out since no door or curtain for the shower area.

Liked: Cleanliness
I liked the location for easy access, free parking, security to the accommodation and the rainfall shower but that was about it. The room tiny. The ventilation didnt work in the shower. The fan was weak and covered in dust. The accommodation area had a smell to it. I could continually hear a split system or similar right outside our small window. The ladies at the restaurant were so unwelcoming on 2 occasions we tried to enter for a drink.

The hotel’s location was fantastic—close to everything we needed, which made getting around very convenient. However, I stayed with 2 kids and another adult, and we found the room to be far too small. With two beds, there was barely any space to move around, making it feel quite cramped. On the bright side, the facilities were decent and met our basic needs. If you’re traveling as a family, consider opting two rooms or a different property altogether.

Although compact, the room was very comfortable and quiet. The only thing I didn’t like was the step down when leaving the bathroom. It was a bit unexpected.

Decent location, not a long walk from the CBD or Salamanca Place, with supermarkets and other shops close by if you need to buy anything. The restaurant downstairs was also great and we had an excellent meal there. The mini fridge in the room was also very handy. Just some complaints, the bed and pillows were too soft for our liking. As for the bathroom, the sink tap was wobbly (almost like it was about to come off) and we didn't really like the rainfall shower head. Everything else worked just fine though and we had an overall pleasant stay.
