Rooms were spacious but the couch is rock hard and uncomfortable. There were plaster spackle spots in the bedroom, shower is tiny and the kitchen floor tiles were cracked/missing. Chinese restaurant next door leaves the lobby with an overwhelming smell. Unfortunately the bowls and cutlery were dirty and I had to run them all through the dishwasher. View of the sky tower was fantastic. Spa pool is pleasantly hot.

Average

Kitchen was very poorly stocked. Couldn’t do anything. Half a bottle of milk still in the fridge from another guest which was gross. Shower curtains I have not seen in a hotel for a very very long time. Aircon would not go lower than 24c even when it ran all night.

Stayed on the 8th floor with amazing view of the harbour. The suite was quiet and well equipped but the bathroom required refurbishment. The swimming pool was also out of commission for the whole of our 3 night stay which was disappointing. Reception staff really friendly and helpful.

We had a studio room on level one. The balcony was dirty but still nice to have. Great location and helpful staff. We had two issues: bathroom wasnt good...small with dirty grout and broken shower head...they did rectify this when we asked and was mich better. At night the street noise was very disruptive - so much so we couldnt sleep. Cars racing and people partying...no fault of the hotel but was loud in our room. So overall the experience was a bit mixed.

Great Hotel - The Chancellor on Hobson!

It was a short stay before heading to the airport and everything about the hotel was delightful, especially the staff! They were very helpful with making sure we had what we needed and greeted us enthusiastically each interaction. I would definitely recommend booking a stay.

The hotel is very close to the city and the wharves. It is getting tired now, and our rooms on the first floor, were a bit dark and dingy. But it suited us for the night.
