The staff were super, the room was great (quieter one) and I loved all the toiletry supplies at each section of the bathroom, as well as coffee machine. It was great to have a float in the little pool at the end of the evening and a bonus to have a decent steam room and sauna. The location is very central. The only downside was the bed was too hard and so I hardly slept. But everything else was perfect, thanks.

The location of the hotel is very central and great! It’s near the Waverley train station which is a walking distance, and a lot of nearby tourist attractions. We were provided big and clean rooms. We can’t select different room types when booking via Expedia and had to raise this to the staff when we arrived and my request was accommodated so thank you!

Best location, room is very clean

Overall very pleasant to stay there. The pros: one of the best location, near shopping mall, also plus they provide discount to park in the Q park if you pre-booking the parking. Please make sure you book online the parking before you head to q park. The room is very clean and the bed is very comfortable. We stayed in the level 3, the room facility is bit run down and I think it needed to morderlise it, especially the toilet and also the TV. I would say its excellent place for city visit to explore around.
