Harbourfront Holidays from AU$1,239

It's a very nice place if one is not picky and like to stay in convenient place. Staff is nice and helpful, atmosphere in public areas around reception is great. Coffee machine operates whole day f.o.c., many working stations and place to hang around.

The room size and equipment were great, but it's ridiculous that there isn't a SINGLE hook anywhere to hang your towel, shirt, or pants. I had to pick up cheap suction hooks from Daiso, so I had places to hang items that were frequently used. Sure the wardrobe has a bunch of hangers but you don't want to stuff your used day-pants in there. Makes no sense. The room cleaning only happens on Wednesdays, so you'll also need a hook to hold your garbage in a separate plastic bag. The garbage bin in the room is just too small for a week's worth of trash. Walls are thin, you'll hear your neighbors or room mates talk on their phone, and all the activity in the shared living space - this was esp apparent when my neighbor was cooking, doing laundry, inviting her friends over, etc. The 100 year old, very slow lift is cool the first time... but a real pain in the ass to use. You have to pull open two very heavy metal gates, and pull to close them (and ensure they're very closed) before you can hit the button to go up or down. Usually by midnight the lift will stop working... because the bargoers that use the lift forget to close the gates after they've gone to the top floor. And when new guests come in or out, everyone is very confused who should be helping to open or close the inner/outer gates. It's a nightmare when you're a regular guest and all you want to do is just enter or exit the hotel on the 3rd floor. Often, just waiting for the lift takes forever - if it comes at all.

Close to grocery and food stalls and bus stops and mrts. Walkable

Nice room view Excellent upper club room on top floor if you can get access

Good location nearby Chinatown. The room was a decent size, comfortable and clean. The hotel had lots of things you may need and there was food in walking distance. We asked for cleaning every second day as 4 adults in a room got messy and it was not an issue. Pool is great and also a gym which is basic. We asks for a late checkout and it was given. The buffet breakfast had so many options and the family loved it. If you have dietary requirements it was very limited with no options for gluten free or dairy free not even soy milk so I purchased my own.
