Before I arrived, I received an email to say what to expect. The Reception staff's greetings were warm and friendly. The room was spacious and extremely clean and cosy. The bed was super comfy and the shower flowed perfect with excellent temperature. Located in walking distance or short journey from all attractions. My daughter and I totally loved it and highly recommend. Dec2025

Room 214 had loud mechanical/whirring noises coming out or aircon vent all night. Very patchy sleep. Recordings taken & being submitted with formal complaint. Staff need to acknowledge there's an issue & fix it. Not good enough for hefty price being charged.

Room was a good size. Well appointed and great facilities. The only downside was a bit of damp damage on the window wall. Did not affect our stay at all but was a bit unsightly. Breakfast was very good.

Room was clean and the lobby and dining area were nice. We were on the top floor, 4th and they had slanted ceilings that were cracking other than that it was good. Just the slopping ceilings made the room smaller. Overall it was a good stay. Close enough to everything without as expensive of prices.
