I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, but the noise from outside and some cleanliness issues detracted from my stay. The service was outstanding, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was decent, but not as convenient as I had hoped. Dining was quite good with fresh food options, but some areas could use improvement.

The rooms were larger than other hotels in the area, but unfortunately, they were noisy and had some cleanliness issues like cockroaches. The air conditioning worked well, but the beds were quite old and uncomfortable, and the water pressure in the sink was poor.

The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always going out of their way to assist us. However, the service can be slow at times.

The location was somewhat convenient, needing either a quick taxi ride or a bit of a walk to reach tourist spots. It wasn't the most appealing area, which was a downside.

Dining was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was delicious, with fresh fruit and perfectly soft croissants. The T-bone steak I tried was absolutely the best.

The facilities were decent but not exceptional, and there could have been more amenities to enjoy during the stay.

My stay at the hotel was mostly positive. The rooms were incredibly clean and spacious, making me feel right at home. The location is also a big plus, being centrally located and close to everything I needed. However, the service left a lot to be desired, particularly due to one staff member's poor attitude, which ultimately made me decide to look elsewhere for a longer stay. Overall, it's a nice hotel, but with some room for improvement in customer service.

The hotel has decent facilities, although I didn't use many of them. It felt secure, although I did notice that my room didn't lock properly, which was a bit concerning.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, right in the city center and just a short walk to popular areas. While the rooms were spacious and comfortable, they weren't as clean as I hoped, and I found some litter on the floor. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, which was a big plus, but the dining options fell a bit short. Overall, it's decent for the price, but it could use some improvements in cleanliness.

The hotel is ideally located in a safe and quiet business neighborhood, just a few minutes walk from the bustling Long Street and about 25 minutes from the Waterfront area.

The hotel offers spacious and well-decorated rooms, making it stand out in the area for comfort. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who were eager to assist. However, the lack of basic amenities like a fridge or sink in the room was quite disappointing. Also, the location has its pros and cons - while it's close to public transport and a tavern, I encountered some cleanliness issues outside the premises.

Rooms

The rooms were much bigger than those in other hotels I've stayed at, beautifully decorated and spacious, though I wish they included a fridge and proper kitchen equipment.

The hotel's location is decent, with good public transport access, but I found it a bit unsettling to see a dead rat near the car park for several days.

Facilities could use some improvement since there are no kitchen tools and lack of a fridge, but overall I found the hotel to be clean and comfortable.

The hotel had its positives with an ample, clean room, and exceptionally friendly staff. However, I found it noisy due to the sliding doors, and the room size was a bit misleading compared to the online photos. It was also disappointing that our room wasn't ready by the stated time. Overall, it offers decent value for money, but not without some drawbacks.

Rooms

The room was significantly bigger than others I've seen in the area and was overall clean and tidy, though a bit noisy due to the sliding doors for outside access.
