Perfect location in Sydney for my honeymoon! We received a free room upgrade and once staff learned it was out honeymoon they surprised us with a free bottle of champagne and chilled glasses right at our door. We had a beautiful view on the top floor, and the bathroom was clean. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great location and brand new hotel. Parking a car is not on-site which is a bit of a bummer but nice walkability and easy Hwy access. Very friendly and helpful staff.

We are a retired American couple. We stayed at the Howie for 2 days. The location is excellent. It is literally about 50 ft from some of the most famous "lanes" in Melbourne.
The ground floor has a cafe which was very busy each day. There are countless eateries on the streets surrounding the hotel.
There is a coin operated washer & dryer availabe, which worked great (the front desk will make change for you).
The staff was very friendly & helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

The unit was well designed, tastefully furnished and quite comfortable, with a two story design that allowed for a spacious open area and functional kitchen, with the second level containing the two sufficiently large bedrooms and a bathroom. On site laundry was a definite plus and the complimentary laundry detergent was much appreciated. The unit was within walking distance to most Hobart Attractions and the staff was first class; professional, friendly and courteous. We clearly enjoyed our...

The Grace is a beautiful hotel within easy walking distance to Sydney CBD. The rooms were large and updated. Our only disappointment was that when we arrived late morning although the room was ready, they wanted to charge us$50.00 to check in early.

My friend and I stayed at the Song Hotel while we were visiting Sydney and we loved it! It was in a great location, right near a subway station and bus stops (and a quick ride from the airport). It was also easy to walk to nearby neighborhoods that had lots of restaurants and bars. The breakfast buffet was amazing every morning, and the dinners we had at the hotel restaurant were awesome. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very welcoming and kind. We would highly recommend!

It is very attractive looking on the inside, including the reception area, but in particular the dining / bar and breakfast areas. The breakfast area has a breathtaking view of the lake.
Location is very central to the lakes area, where you can see water on both sides from the road. Ample Parking space, but then again my visit was off season.
The staff is really friendly and laid back. Dinner was good. Breakfast was excellent. The atmosphere at the bar was lively with music and young people...
