perfect spot for exploring parks and local eateries

staying here was fantastic, as the staff were lovely and I was right across the street from the beautiful Federation Square. It's just a short stroll to the Royal Botanic Gardens, which made my city exploration so much easier and more enjoyable.

luxe room

amazing service

Great for couples looking to relax

We had this amazing breakfast service where the staff actually took the time to give us a tour of what they were serving. Seriously, I've never seen that before, felt like royalty. The spacious room, it felt like we had a whole apartment to ourselves, such a steal!

It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but worth every penny we spent.

Had an amazing weekend with friends! We explored the vibrant theatre district and the gateway to Chinatown. The hotel staff were friendly, our room was clean and modern, and breakfast was spot on. It's definitely a great spot for a night out since everything is so close. Highly recommend checking it out.

uncomfortable night

The family suite provided ample space for our group of four, and the luxurious renovations added a touch of elegance. The bed was remarkably comfortable, ensuring restful nights. However, the outdated air conditioner struggled, making the first night uncomfortable, and some maintenance issues in the bathroom were concerning. The location is excellent, close to theaters and restaurants, which is a big plus.
