Nice room and Hotel

Upgraded our room for free which was great- were on the 10th floor. Spacious room- quite old fashioned but fine for what we needed. Staff were very friendly and helpful especially at the door. Breakfast was a good choice and a good selection of fruit. Pool was clean- pool bar not open though. Gurney walk is 4 min walk away- had a few beers at the 24-7 shop there which was ideal. Liked to get a grab to Chulia st area for food and alcohol at night as many places near the hotel don’t serve alcohol which is absolutely fine. Jacuzzi was fabulous to relax in. Didn’t use the steam room or sauna.

Hôtel pas à la hauteur des avis

Hôtel avec de vieilles installations et de la moquette au sol laissant une odeur pas forcément très agréable. L’insonorisation des chambres est à revoir. Nous pouvions entrer une musique d’ambiance dans les couloirs ainsi que les autres clients prendre leur douche. Enfin, nous avons appuyer sur le bouton pour que notre chambre soit faite mais la personne n’est pas passée.
