Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good, quiet location, helpful and friendly staff.
Large, comfortable bed.
Outdated room decor and bathroom, aircon unit old, limited wall sockets to charge phones/accessories etc.
Modern hotel with little touches of luxury. Everything ticked the boxes from the super soft bed to beautiful hand soaps and lotions, except a shame it didn’t extend to quality toilet paper.
Walking distance to Floriade and a restaurant and bar made this a hotel we would come back to.
