A great stay, fantastic sized rooms only marred by the fact they advertise the pub part to be open til 10pm and it closed at 930pm, not great for a Thursday night. Also make customers aware who are staying overnight of the street works surrounding The Lucky, in the rain it was quite slippy underfoot.

Disappointed
Room was very impressive and clean. However the service at the bar during Happy Hour I was charged full price due to not being asked if I had registered, which I did. My entree and main meal was served together which was very odd again. The next morning there was no water in the shower or basin. No one at reception after 9am to validate my parking ticket which costed me $42 instead of $20. Shame because everything was great.

We had a balcony room on the 2nd floor, which overlooked the outdoor seating area. We knew the location was an entertainment area, so expected noisy evenings. However, there was no issue with noise because the room was very well soundproofed. We could hear muffled noise from outside but nothing from the very active nightlife in the downstairs courtyard, bar and restaurants. Being able to open the door onto the big balcony, for fresh air, was a plus (the reason we opted for a balcony room). Very private. The bedroom was small. Very comfortable queen bed. No seating, rail for hanging clothing (no wardrobe). Modern, small bathroom. All of this was perfect for our 2-night stay. We liked the energy-saving keycard activation/deactivation of power to the room, the bulk shampoo/conditioner/bodywash in the showers instead of the wasteful individual supplies, the bar fridge with milk & bottled water supplied, tea (T2) and coffee sachets. Love the funky decor in the public areas - reception, lifts, internal courtyard area (that's what attracted me to the hotel). Didn't disappoint. The hotel is right opposite the Crown St light rail stop. We had no issue with any noise (we were on the side, not facing the line). We did not have a car. We liked the convenient location to transport, walk or rail to beach, plenty restaurant/cafe options. Supermarket only a block away. We didn't have much interaction with staff, but everyone we dealt with was very pleasant and helpful.

Although the room wasn’t very large, we had a balcony and a huge ensuite that more than made up for the lack of bedroom space. And the handwash/body wash was just divine

Quirky and charming place to stay right in the heart of the action. Very comfortable, and even despite the warnings about noise, it was very quiet once I retired for the evening. Easily accessible by public transport.

Amazing location, lovely room and awesome food. Would be great for a weekend away. We would not have booked however if we had realised there was no onsite parking. Rainy weather for our stay did not help.

Fabulous business trip
Absolutely outstanding exceeded expectations. Only downside was no parking offered as part of the room costs however I managed to park on the street as I was only in the hotel after 5 and before 9. Food and service in the hotel was also excellent
