What a great location- close to the train station, CBD and trams. The room was a good size and had excellent hot water/ pressure shower. At check in we were greeted by the lovely Phyu Phyu who made us feel welcome/ was on for a chat and remembered our name throughout our three night stay. All reception were delightful.

Our first time staying in this Hotel & we will definitely be returning. We loved the extremely clean, spacious, well equipped room, friendly staff & great location. Having a balcony & wonderful view of the river & city lights was an added bonus as was the restaurant. A lovely comfortable & convenient place to stay!

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We were nervous about noise when we realised that the river view rooms overlooked the railway line as well but the bedrooms are double glazed and we slept just fine! The hotel is a great location for getting around on the free trams too. Staff are incredibly helpful. The only downside for us was the internet which was incredibly slow for a major city. We’re from New Zealand but this won’t be an issue for locals.

The stay was very pleasant. We got upgraded to a one bedroom suite which was lovely. The toilet seat was misaligned to the toilet and bathroom door had water damage to it but other than that it was very clean and the room had a great view. Will definitely stay here again.
