    Perfect

    Great stay! The antique decorations were charming and added character to the hotel. The facilities in the room were impressive, including the large shower and in-room temperature control. The location was perfect, within walking distance to many attractions and public transportation, making it easy to explore the city.

    The check-in experience could have been better, as the staff were not very friendly. Additionally, the elevator was under renovation during my stay and I had no idea it was still operational. The bathroom was outdated and the bed was uncomfortable with two single beds pushed together. a good stay for those looking for a decent hotel in a great location.

    During my stay, everything was wonderful and met my expectations. The location of the hotel was ideal as it was close to everything I needed for the weekend, including restaurants and shopping malls, and convenient to central station. The hotel staff was professional, accommodating and helpful in granting my request for an early check-in. The room was small but clean and adequate, and the bathroom was stunning with its subtle art deco touches.

    Everything about this hotel is exactly what I needed and wanted.

    This hotel is perfectly located for easy access to all the CBD and Central Railway Station have to offer. You can walk to great restaurants, cafes, and shops in minutes. The rooms are comfortable with attentive service and a delicious breakfast. The view is breathtaking with stunning vistas of the city skyline. Guests can relax in the modern gym or enjoy the heated indoor pool. As longer term business travellers, we appreciated the high-speed internet and well-equipped meeting rooms.

    Parking is limited.

    Very good

    Stayed here for a weekend and it was perfect. The hotel is located in a very convenient part of the city, very close to the train station and various restaurants. The room was spacious and clean, and I loved the fact that there were complimentary amenities provided such as towels and an iron. The best part was that I felt safe and secure, with easy access to my room.

    The radio in the room was a little confusing to use. It would have been great if it were more user-friendly. though, my stay was fantastic and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in the city.
