Great location
Good room
Front desk staff not the best
Place was great. One thing I didn’t was that two beds were pushed together to make one, which made the bed not the comfiest. Overall pretty good location, about a 30-40 minute walk to the viaduct and there’s lots of food options near by.
I had to clean our room and my sister did also. She even found pills on the nightstand. They are lucky we did not have kids because it looked like candy.
Room was nice and clean and quiet.
Everyone was really friendly and helpful bar one staff member.
Also do be prepared to pay a ‘damages’ bond on check in that you will be refunded after your stay.
Overall a convenient place to stay for a couple nights for the price.
I was very disappointed with the fact that I had to ask for so many things that should have been there In the kitchen area the oven had no instructions how to use it also their oven tins for cooking with, on the hob their were no saucepans or frying pan. Their were no oven gloves to lift things out of the oven. When it came to a few bits of washing up their was no liquid or mops or drying up cloths. I also had to ask for a tin opener. Two days before my departure I booked a car to take me to the airport and an early morning call for 6 am The night before my departure I checked with reception that everything was on their list for the following morning.Fortunately I arose early but their was no call to my room as requested. The whole experience was a great disappointment
Great facilities, especially for the very reasonable price: Twin beds for kids, hair dryer, full kitchen, toiletries, lots of hot chocolate sachets, YouTube on TV, walkable to cbd, nxt to academic sector, secure parking - extra cost but worthwhile.
A nice hotel in a central location. Clean, small kitchen available in room. Check in staff person was friendly. Later on, we were locked out of our safe and the evening staff person was not happy with us (kind of rude) saying she couldn’t help us at the moment as she couldn’t leave the front desk, but no was there at the time. We were leaving early in the morning and I went down an hour later and then she came to help (no was at the desk at that time either). She made us feel like we put her out and then she talked down to us about not using the safe.
Can’t say enough good about these people. Use The Quadrant usually and tried this- also perfect. Maybe better. It’s down to the group’s commitment to great customer service. Well done.
Early check-in was excellent. Room was small but had great amenities including fridge and microwave. Credit card surcharge of 3.5% was excessive. Breakfast buffet had good selection but cooked buffet element poor quality. Cold runny scrambled eggs, fatty undercooked bacon, tasteless sausages
