Pros: location can’t be beat. Tons of bars, restaurants and cafes, free trams in the CBD, near all the points of interest. Comfy beds and nice pillows, 307 faced the back alley and was quiet. Free coffee and happy hour wine, plus the free candy bins was a cute touch. Free laundry? Yes please! Cons: strange layout - apparently the architect has never actually stayed in a hotel. World’s tiniest bathroom, Huge living room, yet nowhere for guest #2 to put their stuff. Spotty wifi. All in all, I would definitely stay here again and hope for a better room layout.

Girls weekend away
Great location and nice comfortable hotel. 2 bedroom room was spacious for friends trip. Only slight downside we’d requested and hotel had confirmed bedding configuration but then wasn’t correct when we checked in. Was quickly rectified with no inconvenience. Lovely little touches like lollies and chocolates in the room. Perfect weekend getaway. Will definitely stay again.

Loved the space- super helpful staff. Small space- especially the bathroom- which is perfect for a night but longer and I’d be in trouble. Room had everything you’d need though.
