Currently under refurbishment Altho this wasn’t a major but something to be aware of. Noisy fan in 2nd bedroom that goes all the time is very annoying & led to very broken sleep. No aircon so bedrooms very stuffy as no windows. Outstanding views, beautiful, well equipped rooms.

Stunning views and great location.
Very nice property, amazing views indeed… close to city and they offer a shuttle service to and from the CBD which was an excellent option for us. Room is very clean and equipped with everything we needed.. kitchen and bathroom are both spotless. Nice and friendly staff.. construction is still going on but didn’t bother us at all. The only downside is Parking which is a big problem due to ongoing construction, but apart from the parking issue, we enjoyed our stay. Will be back for sure

The view of the lake was beautiful… Not having a restaurant, or even a place to buy some snacks was terrible… The hotel is having a new area built with more units… But some arrangements should be made for food… For such a quality hotel… Even smaller, lower, rated hotels, have some type of snack bar… Very poor decision by management to not have anything

Beautiful view but disappointing housekeeping
We booked the lake view sub Penthouse about 8 weeks prior to arrivals via Hotel.com. There was no mention about ongoing renovations. So when we arrived, half the hotel and carpark was under scaffolding so access can be hard if you don’t have a car. If you have a car, you need to pre book a carpark (quite narrow and steep to get to) otherwise you will have to park elsewhere which may be inconvenient. The reception area is really small and chaotic if more than 4 people around for check in due to renovations. The room itself ( 2 bed and 2 bath apt with a spectacular lake view was gorgeous and spacious. However because of the renovations - the bedroom views were all facing the construction site so the curtains were closed during our 3 night stay. Housekeeping - this was disappointing particularly for a premium apt/ room. There were dead mosquitoes/ insects on the bathroom windowsills and also bathroom tops. The windowsills had a layer of dust. The next day we asked the reception about housekeeping and they had to check whether our room included housekeeping !!!??? - so check when u make the booking. This was included but when we returned that evening, our room / apt appeared half done eg. Dirty towels removed but not replaced, new pillow cases placed by bedside tables, dead insects still on window sills!! The location was great and I cannot fault the quality of the room/ apt with its finishings and comfort of the beds.

Good, not great.
Goods: New, very clean, good staff, restricted but good view, every day cleaning. Bads: Not so convenient for those who want to walk to the streets. The block 2 is all new construction but the rooms were not sound proof. The family next to our room was extremely loud. Their kids were playing and screaming throughout the day until midnight. The two separate units had a common door in between that was locked. And the neighbour's kids would try to open the door every now and then. Why would newly constructed units would have a common door in the first place? It's overpriced

It is a difficult assessment - this should be and I am sure that in 2025 it will be a great facility. For our stay the rooms are very nice, new fittings and bathrooms, however with no air conditioning. Our first room on ground level had a door we could open but we didn’t feel safe leaving it open to anyone who may come in while we slept, the second room didn’t have a door only a couple of small windows that only opened to 10 degrees with insufficient air flow to cool the room. The third room had a door and balcony and we were finally comfortable sleeping. We had expected a bar and restaurant both of which were closed for renovation. There was nowhere we could charge an electric car. The staff were great and did all they could to ensure we were cared for. I will ask if the renovations are complete before staying again.

Avoid this hotel if you want a relaxing stay.
A very disappointing and frustrating stay. Dishwasher not working, housekeeping does not do a good job. Room is still dirty. Bedroom lights keep switching on and off on our 4th day while I am trying to put a baby to sleep. Had to get pack up and transfer to a different room with a sleeping baby. Phone not working in new room. Despite reporting all of this no action from staff. Poor communication and staff. Construction everywhere. Dust and odour from construction as you walk to the room.
