I had not come across this group of hotels before. This first experience was enough to want me to seek out the group for future accommodation needs.
The room was good (bathroom was a little musty...). The reception staff were great. The 'Spoonbill' restaurant was fabulous, staff and food.

Thank you for the five stars
Room and facilities were great.
Only point we noted was that the edges around the pool were looking a bit tired /worn and our kids ended up with a few scratches from getting in and out of the water.
Other than that we were very happy with our stay

Thank for the positive score and constructive feedback about the pool. We hope to welcome you back soon.
The room was very small. The bathroom is behind the bed so if using the bathroom, you wake up the person if they are sleeping. The tv is on an angle. The roomset up is really poor. No thought went in to it. Windows look in to everyone else's room.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the layout of the room you had. We have a variety of different suites, all with varying layouts and views. Our team are on hand 24 hours a day and we always recommend speaking with a team member if you have any questions or concerns. We hope that you will allow us another opportunity to welcome you in the future.
Loved the pool on level 1 overlooking Chapel St. The shower in the room was awesome too.

Thank you for staying with us, it is nice to know you had an enjoyable experience. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
We have stayed at the Olsen a number of times and have always been happy there. However, we were underwhelmed this stay. We arrived with a hire car and our 6 week old. There was no offer to help with our bags from the car or to our room. So we juggled the baby and all of the luggage that comes with a baby. Parking options were not explained so we said to valet our car, because we were hot and bothered by this stage. Made it to our room and it was very hot. It was a hit weekend (38 degrees) but we booked a good hotel purposefully because we wanted to be comfortable travelling with the baby. Called maintenance who said the aircon was working fine, it was just struggling in the heat. We had a room thermometer because we always like to have the room around 20 degrees for our babies and it was sitting at 28 degrees. The next day we called about the heat again, the next person to come said it was in fact too hot in the room and offered to move us. But in the haste of going to a wedding we didn’t have time to pack everything up. We asked for the car to be brought around, it took almost 20 minutes because the front desk was understaffed. Instead of being apologetic, the staff member was bordering on rude when I asked how long it would be. The gym was dirty and there was a bit of chewing gum in the cup holder of the treadmill. There was also a conference in the room next to the gym with only partly frosted glass separating the two.
Positives are location, room size, amenities.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry, but my initial response to this review was rejected because I had placed my email address for you to reach me. This experience is certainly not good enough and I would encourage you to contact me at the hotel so we can discuss in more detail.
