"This was an extremely expensive hotel for what was offered. I had a tiny room, single bed against the wall, with only a TV and hairdrier, no fridge, no coffee facilities and it cost A$250 per night (US$160, Euro 142) that is outrageous. Not recommended."
"It is a lovely hotel located outside the city. We especially enjoyed dinner in the restaurant where we had authentic German food. Our only concern was that it was hot outside and the room did not have air conditioning. We opened the windows and there was a beautiful breeze, but the flies kept coming in! I’d give the hotel 5 stars if they had screens on the windows."
"Fantastiske, moderne og romslige leiligheter men litt skuffende at det fortsatt renoveres bygg, uten å installere skikkelig ventilasjonsanlegg eller air condition (det var hetebølge under oppholdet)
Selve nærområdet er under oppgradering og er preget av et nedsarvet nabobygg (som skal pusses opp). 10/10 strand og et veldig sjarmerende område som kommer til å bli toppkarakter om noen år. Besøker dette stedet gjerne igjen!"
