It’s very convenient to Waverley and the bus station, which was very helpful, but there was construction on a building literally right out my window. Even with a sound machine, it was very noisy starting very early (often before 7 am) and ending at least 9 or later. Great location to many things in the city.

Hotel and Staff were amazing, cannot fault in any way! Our room on the surface looked excellent but it was superficial, we booked a city view king room! View was incredible, large bed was great! But the flooring was all coming up and snagged clothes! Back of bathroom door was scuffed and hook hanging off! Just not quite the finish expected as per the rest of the hotel and the price paid!

Great Location!

Wonderful hotel opposite Waverley station! Only criticism I would make is there is only 1 lift and if not working it’s a walk to first floor reception! I was on the 3rd floor so not ideal for the less able! The lift didn’t work on the 2nd morning!! Overall a really nice hotel. Would stay here again!
