Amazing location, a home away from home. The staff were friendly and helpful and there was everything you needed and a little bit more. The shampoo and conditioner are amazing, I left with gorgeous, bouncy, shiny hair. (Love the big bottles too.)
New ZealandThe location is perfect and the hotel is off beautifully leafy Albion Street. Although the main reception is only accessible via small alleyway at the back, once checked-in, the guests can use the entrance from the main road. Loved tasteful decorations and was impressed by the cleanliness everywhere. Also, since it is a boutique hotel, you get that cosiness and a personal touch that most of the big hotels are lacking. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is walking distance from the Central Station, but also very close to the Town Hall area and many hidden bars and coffee shops.
AustraliaThe staff were super friendly and the hotel was quiet and clean with a great rooftop to relax on. We loved all the personal aspects of this hotel.
AustraliaLocation, surroundings and the boutique luxury of the hotel. The rooftop is wonderful for sunset and creating your own experience with the honor bar. All the staff were genuine, warm & welcoming.
AustraliaStaff were very accommodating towards us bringing a little dog. Lovely rooftop area.
AustraliaManager (male, english) who was on duty the morning of Friday 18/12 went above and beyond to look after me when I fell ill. Thank you so much

AustraliaThe receptionist, a guy from Sri Lanka went above and beyond and he made us feel so welcome , he was incredible and also another lady Tilly the receptionist the next was also very very nice , the staff was the icing on the cake for an incredible room and stay , wish we could have stayed longer
AustraliaThe staff are easy going but attentive. Everything works and is in good shape.
Hong KongLocation was great (I walked for 15/20 minutes to get to CBD) and the hotel itself was beautiful with quirky / interesting design. The breakfast bar was modest but really well executed with top quality options (I.e fresh sourdough, organic peanut butter, vegan chocolate spread and dairy free yoghurts available. Even an ice machine near the coffee it you like iced coffee!)
