"Great location! Walkable distance to Port of Airlie and so many shops and restaurants. It was right above a very lively restaurant called The Pub, so when we first got there it seemed quite loud, but the doors and room are pretty soundproof. If you prefer a super quiet area, then ABH probably isn't the best choice, but if you prefer convenience, then this is a great choice. We also loved the cockatoos visiting us on the balcony in the mornings :D. Note: the wifi in our hotel room was not the greatest. Overall, would book again!"
