Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was more like an apartment than a traditional hotel room and located right next to the train line. It was a long way from the entrance and wasn't very clean. The service was fantastic with quick and easy assistance available, and the dining options were limited but with potential changes upcoming.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean, spread over three levels, offering plenty of space. The service was exceptional, with the staff being welcoming and attentive, making me feel like a valued guest. The location was perfect, within easy reach of everything I needed. The dining experience was delightful, with freshly cooked meals available at my preferred time. Overall, a great value for money experience.
I was pleasantly surprised by the size and comfort of the rooms, considering the hotel's busy location. The executive suite I stayed in was spacious and very cozy. The service was overall friendly and accommodating, although there were slight hiccups with their check-in policy. The location was fantastic, with easy access to public transport right at the doorstep. The dining experience was excellent, offering a variety of delicious options. The hotel facilities were top-notch, providing everything needed for a great stay.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with all the amenities one could need, though the provision of crockery and cutlery is limited. The service is friendly and welcoming, and the location is ideal for shopping, transport, and entertainment. The dining experience is a mix of comfortable and substandard offerings. Overall, a good value for money stay with some room for improvement in certain aspects.
The hotel offers clean and great value rooms, though slightly dated. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is very convenient, close to popular spots. The dining experience is top-notch, with delicious a la carte options. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service.
I stayed at this hotel and had mixed feelings about it. The rooms, despite having a kitchenette and a wonderful view with big windows, were noisy due to road and train noise, and not fully closed off from the rest of the apartment. However, the bed was big and comfy, and there was a nice couch. The distance to the room and the entrance being far were significant drawbacks.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious room with a comfortable bed and a lovely view over the Spencer St railway yards for our one-night stay. However, the long walk to reach our floor may not be ideal for those with mobility issues. The staff were friendly, the location was very convenient, but the dining options left something to be desired.
