I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were nice and quiet, not overly fancy but spacious with private bathrooms, making it a great basic option for the price. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff and a comfortable bed. The location was central to everything I needed, but the air conditioning units were not the best. The dining options were convenient, and I found good local and international dishes. Overall, a decent stay for the value.

The hotel suited my needs perfectly, with a great location. The room had a minor issue with water running down the wall from above after a shower and could benefit from some maintenance to remove mold and a fresh coat of paint.

The room was perfect for me, as was the location. However, there was an issue with water running down the wall from the room above.

Service

8.0

The staff were helpful, even when I checked in late. The location was great, the bed was very comfortable, and the hot water pressure in my shower was good. However, the room itself was a bit lackluster.

Location

9.0

The location was exactly what I was looking for, allowing easy access to venues and a convenient walk home. It was central to the city's CBD and within walking distance to shops, the river, and various dining options. However, wheeling a case across the town center was a bit challenging.

Dining

8.0

Unfortunately, I left before the breakfast opening at the hotel. However, I found great cafes just across the road offering a variety of choices. The effort put into accommodating guests was much appreciated.

Facilities

The facilities offered, such as housekeeping, laundry services, a welcome drink, and a happy hour, were really good.
