    The personnel was really helpful and affable. the location was excellent, a 10-15 minute walking distance from a side park. - the food for breakfast was outstanding and appetising. The staff were friendly and always ready to assist, the hotel's prime location made it easy to explore the city on foot, and the breakfast served was delightful and delicious.

    I recently stayed at a hotel in a great location, close to a supermarket and a church. Surprisingly, it was quieter than I expected and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The shared bathrooms had a charming old-fashioned feel, and the climb up the staircase added to the experience. I was also delighted to find a beautiful picture of roses in my room. Security was top-notch, giving me peace of mind during my stay.

    I had a wonderful experience at this hotel and can recommend it.

    The hotel was in a prime location, close to all the action. the staff were friendly and welcoming, offering complimentary drinks and chocolates on arrival. the room and bathroom were sparkling clean, making for a cozy and comfortable stay.

    The noise level was quite high on Friday and Saturday nights due to the bar area downstairs. the TV in the room was placed in an awkward spot making it difficult to watch for long periods of time.

    We stayed at a hotel in this city and we had a great time. The hotel was clean and had great facilities, including a shuttle bus. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect for exploring the city and within walking distance to restaurants and attractions.

    Nothing is perfect.

    The hotel was conveniently located near NEX and Darby St The staff were friendly, and they allowed us to leave our items on the day we checked out, which was helpful. The room was spacious, well-decorated and equipped with everything needed, including a fridge, kettle, TV and tea and coffee. The shared bathroom was very clean and came with complimentary toiletries.

    The frosted glass window on the external door let in a lot of light, making it difficult to sleep. There was no blind to block out the light.
