    I didn't read note in room that room servicing was by request. But staff brought to our room what we needed, with a smile on his face. It's always nice to come back from a day out to be welcomed by a fresh room.

    We like this place any easy commute to the city and close to globe eateries. The rooms are clean and comfy. Staff are all really friendly.

    Beds move around the floor due to wheels having no brake or bracket underneath them. Underneath the bed was very dirty.

    I expected a better breakfast, being lactose intolerant meant I couldn’t have the cereal with the milk given so a croissant or another kind of pastry would have been preferred.

    We were able to check in early which was hugely appreciated after a long journey over. The room was clean and spacious

    Rooms are not automatically cleaned each day. You have to specifically request at reception. Wasn't a problem for us but taxis and Ubers are not able to stop directly outside the hotel as it is on a very busy main road. You can get picked up around the corner though.

    We had an internal room so it was quiet despite being on very busy road. Excellent location right next to the Broadway shopping centre. There are lots of great cafes nearby.

    Beds were on rollers on hardwood floors so rolled around while we were in them until we were able to find ways of securing them. No windows in the room. Fire alarm went off at 3am on the first night.

    Car parking is not clear. You need to park in the Broadway shopping mall and pay at the Hotel for a discount in parking. No windows in room for natural light.

    The location is convenient but beware that car/taxi cannot stop right in front of the entrance or anywhere nearby so if you have huge luggages you will need to carry and walk a minute from where you can stop your car so it could be a challenge. And there is no chair or table for sitting or writing in the room which is a bit inconvenient.

    Big and comfy bed, sufficient supply of toiletries products like shampoo, conditioner and body lotion which is great. Breakfast area is huge and even though I haven't enrolled the breakfast option, I can still access the free coffee/tea.

    The bathroom stank of cigarette smoke, there were burn marks on the toilet seat and the bed was uncomfortable due to the raised seam in the middle. Aircon should be controlled in the room at your own comfort as it’s either on low, high or off and you can’t turn it off at night. It’s seriously warm on the 3rd floor.

    Overall good, I was happy with the 2 nights. I stayed in a king room on the 3rd floor away from the main road which was relatively quiet except for exhaust fans outside the room. It was quite hot when I arrived and no aircon control in my room - you have to ring reception who tells me there are 2 settings, low and high only. You then have to wait for housekeeping to flick that switch for you. In this case I waited over 3 hours and made 3 phone calls. The room itself was small but ample for my solo needs. The bathroom stank of cigarette smoke and you could tell the previous guest had smoked in it. There was stray hair in the shower and burn marks on the toilet seat. It was modern and apart from the hair on the shower wall seemingly clean and came with wall style toiletries. The bed was a fake king size, my pet hate - 2 single beds zipped together with an uncomfortable seam that goes straight down the middle. That seam was well raised and kept me from crossing over to the forbidden side all night.. Staff were friendly and allowed me to check in early as my room was ready. I was also able to leave my luggage for the day. It’s in a great location and I loved the easy access to the shopping centre, eateries and the park across the road. RPA is only 5 min down the road, an easy ride by bus (hospital was my main reason for stay). Close to Central station and I walked there and back. I would stay again, it was good value for money.

    The weird things...The bed on wheels slid across the room when I sat on it. The powerboards under the bedhead kept getting crushed and disconnected by the bed.

    Staff (Julie, I think) was very friendly and informative at check in, arranged a nice room and was very helpful. The room was comfy.

    Unfortunately, the room we booked (Standard Queen Room with Internal Window) did not have any window at all! The hotel should be much clearer about this, as we would absolutely not have booked a room without a window. Waking up wirth no natural light was extremely confusing and very claustrophobic. Luckily, Julie on the front desk moved us to another room with a window for our second night which was much better. The booking description should really be updated so others don't make the same mistake.

    This hotel is in a great location and easily accessible, and we did enjoy our stay. However, our first night was spent in a room with no window (awful) despite saying there was an internal window in the description. This felt quite prison like and very claustrophobic, so be careful which one you book. Luckily, Julie on the front desk moved us to a room with a window for the second night. She was abslutely amazing and super accomodating and even left us little treats to apologise. The second room was much better. The beds are super comfy and we felt that the hotel had everything that we needed. Lots of great cafes nearby.
