"Second overnight stay. As a single female traveller felt very safe, I feel the bedroom carpets need a deep clean to enhance the hotel rating. The most disappointing is the restaurant. It should be busy and buzy but it isn’t. Menu had serval missing items and the wine I chose was not available either, I mentioned that my steak was very grizzly. The above are my own observations. I would stay again and I would recommend if that’s the location you need to be in. Once again the reception staff were excellent ! The restaurant needs someone to take over and improve it, it should be much better !"

"The location was excellent, with plenty of eateries directly across the road and along the same street. It was also very convenient for my work conference, which was just down the road. Unfortunately, the check-in experience was disappointing. The hotel description did not make it clear that this was a serviced apartment with no reception located at the property. I also did not receive clear instructions explaining how or where to collect the keys. With no apparent email or check-in instructions provided, I called the contact number only to be advised that the office was closed. I then found information directing me to a location to collect the keys, however, when I arrived there, the collection point appeared to be non-existent. Around 30 minutes later, I was finally contacted and the check-in process was completed. For a serviced apartment without an onsite reception, clear check-in and key collection instructions are essential. I strongly recommend these details are emailed to guests at least 24 hours prior to arrival to prevent unnecessary confusion and frustration."

"Travelled with our 1.5yr old toddler. Other than the size of the bedroom, we found the room to be enough. But any more, we would need to book the bigger rooms. Staff were really lovely and loved coming back to a clean room. Loved having the buffet breakfast option right down stairs and restaurants on the same street as we had lots of options for dining. Would book again."
