Sometimes in the quest to be funky a property overlooks comfort. The room is tiny and cramped. Power points are few and far between. The trendy surfaces on the wall are just rough! Positives; the shower was a decent size even if the bathroom wasn’t. The restaurant on Sunday morning was a shambles, we walked out due to no one taking an order. The plant forward menu is a brave move, and not one that appealed to me.

Staff let another guest into my room while I was sleeping as they didn’t know it was occupied which is completely unacceptable. Blinds never worked properly, which resulted in a terrible sleep in a room that couldn’t be darkened.

Finally found a great spot to stay at in the ACT. Staff, room, restaurant, price, everything was perfect. There smaller rooms options, are also great for those traveling alone for work. 10/10

The staff have been very helpful in sorting through a few issues. The main one was that booking through Wotif And what the hotel understood was being done was different. The stuff sorted things out but really the integration wasn’t that great
