Room was spacious and clean. Hotel is in good walkable distance from Southbank/Crown area and has a tram stop out the front. Supermarket very close by. Unfortunately, pre-stay communication was poor and check-in was very lengthy.

The staff were excellent. However the enclosed patio which states no smoking stank of cigarette smoke which stirred up my daughters asthma and the shower was very mouldy. Great location 3 minutes walk to the crown and Southbank breakfast was sufficient and excellent barista coffee which was additional on top of breakfast

Located behind Crown. Easy walk to crown restaurants but a 20min walk to CBD. Room was comfortable. No storage cupboards and room space tight for suitcases. Coffee machine, washing machine and dryer provided.

Room was clean and comfortable enough. The air conditioning is only in the living room so the bedroom was hot. The front desk staff were not very friendly upon checkout and seemed like they didn’t want to be there.

I liked the location, i wasnt a fan of the dark ambience in the hotel, just made the property look dull and cold. The apartment was great, had everything you need for your stay. Our daily cleaning was great to have. Our entire stay the hotel had issues with wifi which was frustrating

Underpar

The staff were lovely but otherwise it is a disappointing hotel. The garbage Shute smell is very strong and unpleasant, it seeps into the room. The cleanliness is way off for a new hotel. Location was our big win. The property is priced to encourage a high expectation.

Very close to excellent with a few minor irritations but overall very goog. Great service, well maintained, excellent location near MCEC, CBD, Sou GG hbank. Tram, food & groceries. Shower cubicle grout mould and no easily accessible power points near table ,no desk meant stringing power cable from laundry alcove or across main access for laptop only irritations.
