I had a good stay. Newly renovated room, good location, everything was clean. My only complaint is that the hallway smelt of burnt rubber and that smell mildly drifted into the room. I would assume there was something done recently and it’s only temporary.

A property that is well located to Battery Point, Salamanca Market, Waterfront and the CBD. If you are looking for somewhere to stay that is clean well maintained and no fuss this is your stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only thing I would suggest maybe you need someone at the front desk during hours to answer inquiries from hotel guests. I spent sometime waiting for somebody to answer my questions. But overall this was an excellent stay and would stay here in the future. Thanks

We had a fantastic stay! The staff were incredibly attentive and welcoming throughout our visit. Although we enjoyed the location, we needed a change of accommodation due to our twin beds and they handled it efficiently. We’re already looking forward to returning! Thank you so much again :)

Clean room, fast and easy check in process. Friendly staff. Just be aware that there is no elevator and you have to drag luggage on the second floor. Walkable to downtown with convenient restaurant nearby. WIFI is slow.
