8.4Verified guest“Great spot with excellent amenities like free Wi-Fi, round-the-clock reception, and a cosy bar. On my first stay, the staff recommended a local taxi service that I still remember. I'm already planning to return for New Year's.”
8.4Verified guest“The hotel is clean and attractive, with exceptionally welcoming and attentive staff. Breakfast is generous and tasty. The location is excellent, just minutes from Chinatown. It's an 18-minute drive to the airport, close to theatres, and on a tram line to Southern Cross Station. Service is good, and overnight parking is available.”
8.4Verified guest“Check-in was friendly, rooms were a good size with two armchairs that were a bit worn, plus a shower and clean towels.”
8.4Verified guest“Guaranteed on-site parking was essential for us, and the hotel delivered, though it was clear on departure that there isn't room for every guest's car, so next time I'd confirm rather than assume. The King Superior Room was very spacious, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Check-in and check-out were quick. We couldn't hear neighbours at all. Late check-out at 11am was a bonus.”
