Nice hotel, but - What is the point of a glass door to the bathroom please? It doesn't fit so gives little privacy, the light is awful in the middle of the night for the other person.

Would have preferred a room at the other end of the complex rather than over the bridge which had vehicle and tram noise leaking into the room. Other than that a great place to stay.

The facilities and staff did not seem to match the number of guests which meant long lines for breakfast and check out or having to pre-book everything

Walking distance to shopping complex & restaurants are great. Didn’t like all the noise at night, traffic and other rooms doors banging throughout the night when trying to sleep

The property location was great, it's clean and modern. However a couple of things tarnished my stay. 1) Booked a twin room, was told they didn't have any so had to share a bed with my travelling companion. If I'd been advised this configuration wasn't available, I would have booked elsewhere. 2) When they've done their renovations they haven't insulated the walls very well. When other rooms showered or used the toilet it sounded like a waterfall in my room. 3) Bathrooms with their glass doors and large gaps around them didn't provide much privacy.
