hotel is well located, room was clean, valet was a good price, bar was busy, drinks well priced and well made - seemed to have a quite early closing time for food / drinks and room service which was surprising? $3 / small bottle of in-room water was a bit much! the shower wasn't working properly ( was running boiling hot only and then the handle came off in my hand ) so we had to wait to get maintenance to come and do a temporary fix on it, but that was sorted fairly quickly. comfy bed and good nights sleep!

Charged an extra $600 aud on what was suppose to be $200 aud taxes. Room service for cleaning requires a booking a day prior. They will also bug you withna welcome package which is a timeshare where they insult you and treat you dirt if you say no at the end

5 stars!!

Everyone at the Padre was so nice and welcoming. Service was fantastic! Room was spacious and beautiful. Only thing I wasn’t crazy about were the dj’s on the rooftop bar. They had the music so loud at 6 in the evening you had to yell to try and converse with the person next to you.

Cheers! To the Padre Hotel

The Padre has a seductive, sophisticated cool that’s hard to beat. The staff were all warm and accommodating, and every detail felt intentional. The bed was like a cloud, the shower like soft rainfall. I also appreciated the smooth coffee and surprisingly tasty biscuits and gravy at Farmacy. Thanks, Padre—I’ll be back

Great hotel! It’s such an easy check in and out. The valet parking is so convenient and the restaurant and bar are really nice. The rooms are clean and the beds are so comfortable. The rooms have everything you need for your stay. This is the second time I’ve stayed and I was traveling alone. As a female traveling alone I knew this is where I would feel the safest. I will definitely stay here again.
