Hackney Vacations from $614

Negative is NO USB points

A great experience!

Wonderful stay look forward to returning

Blinds had gaps each side which let light into the room at night, aircon was the quietest I’ve ever had in a hotel

Marketed as five-star, but the rating seems to ride on the location and not much more. Interiors feel tired, and the rooms lack luxury. Towels are rough and carry a lingering smell of cooking grease—more budget motel than premium stay. Coffee is reduced to a kettle and sachets; no pod machine. There’s also no visible effort toward sustainability—no recycling bins in the room or anywhere obvious in the hotel. Sleep is a gamble - noise bleeds in from every direction: promanade maintenance crews blasting music from their vehicles through night/early hours, late-night bar crowds, and poorly sealed balcony doors that do nothing to block it out. Ocean view rooms you can see planes flight path, loudly passing every few minutes. The balcony has no furniture, unless you’re dragging chairs back and forth as nothing supplied appropriate to be left outside. Overall stay was not a 5* experience—it wasn’t even close, I won’t be returning.
