Nice but noisy.
Really nice little apartment. Excellent facilities and great location. Just don’t expect a lie in. Walls are paper thin and all you can hear all morning from very early is doors banging every 10 minutes.

Weekend away
A great stay & good location. We normally stay at Native, so this was a good alternative. Great having a washing machine & tablets included. Staff all very friendly & helpful. Would have like to be able to check-in before 4pm. This is very late, especially for a weekend away. Also the bed was just a double (1-bed suite) & I would expect a King or Super king.

Great location, venue and facilities. Staff were superb. Felt like kitchen area was a little dark but as we only stayed for one night it wasn’t an issue so didn’t follow it up.

We really like our stay at the hotel but didn’t really like the kitchen area in the room and dining table. We didn’t really like that whilst laying in bed you could see the kitchen. Our room also overlooked a car park which isn’t the greatest view. In saying that, I would stay here again, but in a different layout room like our friend’s room, where the kitchen is in the entrance, not the main part of the room. The hotel staff were 10/10 and the hotel has a really nice, cool, stylish vibe.
