Guest Reviews:

- "We loved everything! We had the king suite. The attention to detail in the room was phenomenal. Immaculate bedding, comfortable bed. Great location. Friendly staff on check in and check out." - "Unreal hotel in the middle of the city. Spacious with great views. Beautifully furnished. Lots of helpful facilities - high quality coffee, milk, iron/ironing board, washing machine, dishwasher, tv, toiletries, two sets of blinds (one black out). Quick online check in and check out. Really friendly staff. Had a wonderful nights sleep in the bed in the room. Earplugs on the bedside table as it is located in the busy and loud area of the gay village but we stayed on a Thursday so the noise wasn’t too much of an issue. It was our anniversary and the staff places rose petals on the bed and balloons in the rooms - really nice touch! Would recommend and cannot wait to stay again!"
