    My room was across from the restaurant bathroom. I was on the same floor as the restaurant so it was noisy at times. i like to sleep in and people were up early in the restaurant so I could hear all of that.

    Not enough space for suitcases. I arrived with three suitcases and two carry-ons it was a tight fit. Sink was blocked but my partner is a plumber so he unclogged the sink lol.

    Ease of check in and check out was amazing. Dinner and drinks on the roof top was lovely. Friendly staff and very accommodating. The lady at the bar made the best drinks and we had a lovely visit from the bar possum!

    Nothing .. just noisy birds for a wake up call!!!

    We arrived after a long flight, a bit shattered and we had a great welcome, easy room access and were relaxing with a drink after 15 minutes.. 😊 we had a super breakfast the next morning before hitting the road North to Noosa.

    We only stayed for one night and thought it a little expensive but a lovely experience all the same.

    Fantastic location and feels like a home away from home. So close to James street for shopping and dining. Wonderful concierge staff that made us feel very welcome.

    We had a drink in the restaurant upstairs and the music was far too loud, especially considering we were the only ones there (weekday afternoon). The volume was turned down on request however 👍

    Beautiful building and room was very nicely styled. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

    The shower was difficult to use the shower head as the wall connection didn’t hold the hand held shower head well. Would have liked some extra towels

    Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Beautiful buildings and suite. Wonderful rooftop bar with view of the bridge. Close walk to the wharf. Wonderful restaurant

    I stayed in a standard room at ground floor just below the restaurant and it got quite loud at night during dinner service (I came in the room at 11:30pm and everything was quiet) and in the morning from 7am. We could hear soft music played in the reception as well as personnel going back and forth in the hallway

    Beautiful boutique hotel strategically located near the riverside walk
