Room was dirty, smelled bad. I paid extra for a serviced room. Staff showed up at 6pm asking if I wanted a towel. The hotel rating was deceptive. Was more like a backpacker hostel than a hotel

We were unable to access our room by elevator…we were on level 1 …7 stairs down to an open atrium with rooms around a common courtyard. 2 seniors should not be required to haul luggage up and down stairs just to get in and out of our room! The room itself had water outside the door…at 9 am, they flood the plants and cause the floors to be slippery on top of hauling luggage! Very disappointing and a ridiculous setup for a hotel! We did not enjoy our stay…luckily we only booked 1 night.

We walked into our room and noticed a strong smell. The staff were polite, though not particularly warm. The beds were fine if you’re only staying for one night. On day two, we discovered a leak and reported it. We were then asked to move rooms, which was okay, however we were contacted about five hours later and asked to return to the room immediately. The new room was smaller and no compensation was initially offered. After asking if complimentary breakfast was possible, we were first offered a late checkout, which didn’t suit us due to an early flight. In the end, breakfast was provided. Overall, it was manageable for a short stay, but I wouldn’t recommend it for more than one night.

The rooms are very clean and quite spacious. The location was fantastic so close to everything and easy access to trams/transport. Staff were nice and it was great they are open 24/7 as I arrived after midnight. I didn’t try the restaurant, bit it always looked busy at breakfast. I would happily stay here again.
