Really good for families, clean and convenient. I would note that toilet paper dispensers that control and restrict you to 3 sheets at a time are a bit stingy for a $400 a night room.

Nothing fancy just a very comfortable and functional place if you’re in town for a longer stay. Excellent Thai restaurant in the lobby. Taringa is a good little neighbourhood. The metro stop is right behind the hotel - you can get downtown in 10 minutes. Note: building is shared by doctor’s offices. Apartment style hotel rooms are on the floors above.
