We came here on our babymoon and it was just what we needed. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful if they tried - anything we asked for they helped us with. I’ve been struggling with sleep and they delivered more pillows to our room, they were informative about the area and were really helpful with whatever we asked them for. The location is excellent, just around the corner from George Street which was great for shopping and having a slow mooch and coffee.

Nice hotel but must question if it really is a 5 star! More like a 4 star. Our room was quite small which ended up meaning one had to sit on the bed so the other person could get to the bathroom. The view from our room was of air conditioning units siting on a roof. Pillows not to our liking but that’s a personal preference. Baba restaurant was amazing and I would def eat here again. Staff in the hotel are very attentive.
