I loved the access to coffee machine 24/7, the location was excellent, walking distance to great restaurants like Hochi Mama, great bars like Longsong, really comfy beds and amazing shower. Ideally would have gym on site not on Lonsdale Street and access to Netflix/Stan/Binge.

The staff were very accommodating when requesting a late checkout, unfortunately due to staffing shortages the room wasn’t ready upon arrival. The free mini bar and ‘happy hour’ is a great idea and we’ll received. Although the room was fairly clean and tidy, mould in the silicone in the shower was easily noticeable and somewhat off putting.

Hi Laura, thank you for taking the time for leaving a review! We do apologise the room wasn't ready on arrival - we're usually very good at having the room ready for arrival. We love our free perks too! Thanks for letting us know about the bathroom - we'll get right on it! Take care and we hope to see you again!

You can’t get a better location for the Princess Theatre, Chinatown and laneway bars and restaurants.

Fantastic location, kids loved the free lolly bar. Plenty of room for all 4 of us to have our own space in the room. Off site parking a block away that was super cheap for the weekend. Fabulous friendly staff were welcoming and caring. Will definitely stay again

The staff were incredible!!! My 9 yo son summed it up perfectly when the staff member ran out the back to see if they had some sleep time tea when asked - he said, 'see Mum, THAT'S why they are a 6 star hotel!' Very generous room size and a great location for our little city break. But the wonderful staff made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Great fun hotel located in the east end of the city. Close to parklands, museum and plenty of bars and restaurants. The penthouse is a must and the two bed rooms also well laid out.
