Love the 20s-vibe of the furnishings and the vastness of its rooms - even the smallest room has space for an extra bed or two! The larger rooms are like a suite! And being central its great for restaurants and cafes just outside the door. This is our go-to hotel in the Tron every time :)

The rooms were large and clean, however the air-con wasn't great, and they had plumbing issues. Communication from the hotel via the hotels.com messaging service prior to arrival was non-existent. Not worth the $200+ per night.
