"very clean, staff are friendly and very accommodating, excellent location, and very generous with our needs. This is value for money. It’s highly recommended."

"We had a fantastic stay at the Next. Beautifully designed and very comfortable stay, super clean with great style. The bar and restaurant were also fabulous. The breakfast is à la carte with a small buffet of quality food. Close to everything with coffee shops at ground floor. So good, we’d stay here again anytime. Highly recommend!"

"Very good location"

"Great place to stay great location and the staff are fantastic"

"The photos of the room were very misleading for size and light. The room was also very dank and the aircon / ventilation gave a very mouldy and poor air quality to the space. Cleanliness was ok but, has bare minimum to pass a sheet change and put out towels become the markers of top quality city stay? The actual aesthetic and locality of the hotel is good and great access to cafes and bars. All walkable distance. If this kind of feedback actually leads to improvements then great. "

"My stay had many positives: the room was comfortable, the hotel was clean and elegant, staff were generally warm and friendly, the location was excellent, and the Diptyque toiletries were a lovely touch. However, several aspects fell below the standard expected of a 5-star hotel. Most concerning was a food safety issue. I advised staff of a prawn/crustacea allergy when ordering chicken satay and asked for no prawn chips. The dish arrived with plain chips, but the “fragrant rice” was mixed with prawns hidden beneath a fried egg. After one bite I felt an immediate mild reaction. If my allergy were more severe, the consequences could have been serious. It was alarming that the allergen was not listed, staff were unaware, and the dish was still served after I disclosed the allergy. Food quality overall was disappointing. The breakfast buffet felt well below the price point, and bar service was inconsistent, including a cocktail missing a key ingredient and careless wine service. I was also disappointed the spa was fully closed on ANZAC Day Saturday, as spa access was a major reason I booked and part of my birthday plans. There were also room maintenance issues: a wardrobe light that would not switch off, doors that would not fully close causing unwanted light overnight, and a leaking cold tap that pooled water on the vanity and soaked personal items. Overall, a pleasant property with strengths, but several avoidable lapses that felt below luxury hotel expectations."

"Room was clean, staff friendly and the breakfast buffet was extensive and really nice. Great location for theatres and food."
