We loved staying here it is very central and we loved being able to walk everywhere. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The bar was convenient we did not use the breakfast so we aren’t too sure of the options but it’s a great location that is very central and walkable to different destinations. If you go here we recommend making a trip to Bold Street Coffee and Maki & Ramen.

Location is great, hotel itself & staff all good Lack of drink facilities in the room - not much to ask for a kettle/tea/coffee etc but there weren't even cups for tap water. Check in process would have been speeded up had people known about the mobile registration link whilst waiting in the queue

There is parking right nearby but it is expensive so plan wisely. It’s in a good location pretty much right next to Chinatown and the gay village. Room was tidy and bathroom was clean overall no complaints does the job for a short stay in the city centre.

Disliked: Amenities
This is a simple and basic accommodation that is good for a short weekend trip. The staff are efficient and there is a good bar and dining area. The staff in the bar are very friendly and helpful, proving ice and water for you to take back to your room. However, there were a few stains on the carpet and a few hairs left in the shower. This is a good place for sleeping, it is not loud and you can reach main city areas easily. Best if you are planning to be out for most of your visit.
