I had a comfortable 3-night stay at this hotel. The room was clean and quiet, and the staff were very friendly, especially Jennifer. It’s so close to Southern Cross that I could go everywhere easily. Would definitely stay here again!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (458 reviews)
For a 4 star place the cleaning wasn’t great of the rooms each day. Found one staff on their personal phone while cleaning the room. They also didn’t change sheets when I dropped some food on it. Didn’t remove dirty wine glass for a couple days. On arrival in the room was dusty. Reception staff were amazing.
