Great spot in CBD and on the list of many tour pickups. Having laundry on-site (paid) is a plus. Room was cozy but just what I wanted - simple, functional, comfortable. Would stay again.

This lovely hotel is conveniently located for those without a car. It is 5 min walking distance to the Intercity bus stop, and 5-10 min to walk to the first tram station. Many restaurants are nearby, also approximately 10 min walking distance, and there is a restaurant on site. The breakfast buffet, although not that big, had quite a few items to choose from. With no kitchen in the room, having breakfast available was fantastic. I also was grateful to use the luggage storage facilities on my last day.
