The location of Hotel Give across the road from the Botanic Garden and the Arts Centre and only a few blocks away from the city centre makes it an ideal place to stay. The Number 6 Bistro and Bar is really handy, but I would prefer it if it was open seven days a week and in the same building as Hotel Give. I used the kitchen facilities fro breakfast, so didn't try the buffet breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was far better than I was expecting. I was impressed by my large roof balcony (although far too wet and windy to use it on my visit) and the lovely view to the Botanic Gardens from it. Comfortable bed, the heating worked and a nice bathroom. Only improvement I can think of is a desk and chair, as I got a kink in my back from trying to work on my laptop off the bedside table. It's walkable from here. The Botanic Gardens across the road is worth a visit. There's a restaurant/café next door. Bus 8 from the airport has a stop not too far away, so that's convenient. I would stay here again and recommend this to others.

The lo ation is superb and close to dining, shopping and across the road from the Botanical Gardens. It is clean and comfortable and i stayed in a premium room with own bathroom. Overall pleasantly surprised as it has a backpacker section as well. The bad things or where improvement is needed. Housekeeping ... asked for tissues was told ill need to go downstairs if not today ill get it tomorrow. 3 nights later still nothing. Checkout time 10am is crazy and any extra hour is $20 max 2 hrs. No flexibility on this ... make it worldwide standard of 11 am and keep ot simple. Overall happy with my stay but few small things could be improved on
