Don't get a room on...

Liked: Spa
Disliked: The room on the 6th floor was under the dining room with hard floor I was kept up until after they were closed and cleared. I need to get up early and it was a nightmare.

Great location, very friendly, efficient,...

Liked: Love the room with a view, but it was quite small. For the price we paid, would have expected a bit more luxury, i.e. perhaps a bath instead of just a shower. Loved the quilt and the fresh cotton linen. Liked the decor and the verandah was a bonus. a
Disliked: Larger room, maybe a bigger bed.

Poor - 0.5 out of 5

Ben Mon, 4 August 2025

Awful

Liked: Previously been to the roof top bar is nice
Disliked: Arrived at the property to be told the system had messed up and that there was not booking for us. Shoved aside by one staff member and told they where busy dispute us turning up before they’re workload picked up. Once we had finally been told that there wasn’t space for us another staff member told us it wasn’t there fault no apologies and no accountability wouldn’t recommend
