The hotel has a lot of potential however a few things let the place down. Our room showed signs of wear and tear. It would have been nice to know that there was no room service or onsite restaurant prior to our booking, as we have a child we had to leave the hotel everytime for meals.

Excellent location wonderful staff

The location is great within proximity to markets, tram and AF gym! TV is old and did not connect with phone even with instructions it only connects for 1 minute then requires wifi to be reset. My room was near laundry room and it got very noisy in the mornings.

Loved my stay here . Great location right near the prahan markets and a short walk to chapel street for shopping. I was there for work and it was a very quiet hotel. It was a great idea tô opt out of housekeeping in exchange for a bottle or wine. Only thing I didn’t love is the pillows they were all super soft and even all 4 stacked didn’t give me enough support - personal preference. Would love to come back and stay here again.

Spacious studio with everything you need. Convenient location although it can get quite noisy at night. Reasonably priced and I would definitely consider staying here again. My only comment is that their check-in/out times are quite inflexible due to being booked out on most days, so plan ahead.

Not what it used to be!

Its not what it used to be thats for sure! Now owned by a big chain is very obvious… A hotel with no restaurant = room service at all and a limited minibar should probably loose some stars. But I have mentioned this before but you dont seem to update your info much?! Still went since its a good location for a worktrip but will rethink next time due to a lot of restaurant closures in the area.

Great stay, pity about the sleep

Great stay as always, been here a number of times for business, nice, clean rooms and centrally located to plenty of places to eat. Hit and miss on the quality of the mattress, this time the mattress was old, hard and lumpy. Not what I was looking forward too as previous stays I had found that the mattress was soft and comfortable
