Bed very comfortable.Location in city excellent.Staff very helpful.Foyer welcoming and comfortable.

Malcolm, Australia

The location was excellent. The bed was very comfortable the rooms are very good

Andrew, Australia

The level of customer service was exceptional. Every staff member we encountered went out of their way to be of assistance no matter what the question. I run a business specialising in the high end tourism and events market and could find no fault in the level of service.

Matthew, Australia

Great views, bed was so comfy. It was the most comfortable bed that I have come across in a hotel

Kim, Australia

The bed was very comfortable as was the fold out couch. The spa was very nice and relaxing although the jets could have been more powerful to create more movement of the water. The location of the apartment was great as it was right in the heart of the action as far as food places and bars go. Every thing seemed like a short walk to get to.

William, Australia

Value for money and good location staff were great

Dale, Australia

Breakfast was included in the price and was good.Variety to choose from and loved that there was an option of having omelettes to choice.

Sayali, Australia

The air conditioner stopped working. It was attended to when we asked for help. The lifts didn’t work on the Sunday morning when we wanted to leave the building and we had to walk down 13 flights of stairs- thank goodness we were not staying on a higher level! Staff were excellent in every facet of operation

Gina, Australia

Great location for the theatre and right at the top of China Town - perfect location!

Frances, Australia

Convenient location and reasonably priced parking.

- • Leisure trip

- • One-Bedroom Apartment
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The shower was a tad confusing at first as the hot water turned to the right to turn on and the cold went to the left to turn on. As I thought I was turning the hot down I was actually turning it up as I thought it went the same way as the cold, resulting in me getting burnt by the shower water. After that I was all sorted though once I worked out the taps. One of the jets in the spa was not working and there was another one that was hardly working as well.
눇The bed was very comfortable as was the fold out couch. The spa was very nice and relaxing although the jets could have been more powerful to create more movement of the water.
