Good clean functional accommodation! Lots amenities within walking distance! Extremely friendly and helpful staff (Navya). Arrived and found the was an issue with my booking, Navya was very helpful bu upgrading my room. I also needed an extra night which was organised without any problem.

We arrived about 7 in the morning and asked if we could leave bags there. Can't check in til 3pm. The receptionist was amazing he checked to see if room was ready and allowed us to take our bags to the room, freshen up after 27 hrs flight and even gave us recommendations for breakfast. We will definitely stay here again when visiting our family. Well done everyone for your excellent service.

Great stay, everything was good. Except when the elevator stopped working and we got stuck inside for 30 mins. On board phone did not work when we tried calling for help. Had to ring from personal phones, and was eventually rescued by local firefighter service. So other than it was great.
Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025

I would not stay here again. Our room had a washing machine you could not use, no dishwashing liquid, no dishwasher tablets, you couldnt adjust the shower head, the shower pressure was useless, the extra bed we paid for an extra guest was very very poor, 3 out of the 4 legs for the couch they fixed/attached/were ply wood and the bedding in one bed had a stain on it. The positives: The staff were nice, it was close to shops, Queen st and a 5min walk to the sky tower
Stayed 2 nights in May 2025

The only thing was the Queen bed was two singles put together so if you move around in the middle they split and make a gap so you have to readjust them.
