7.8/10 Good! (759 reviews)

The room was too small for a couple. There was not enough room to put our things about. There are no mirrors in the male bathrooms to have shave. Staff was not courteous. I requested for some milk to make tea. Wr waited for an hour and when I complained the manager was telling me off saying no need to be angry. The staff was not very helpful, but the hotel was at the right location. All the attractions were in walking distance.

Great location in the Haymarket not far from China town and the trams. Apartment was clean and well equipped. Although there was blinds at all the windows it was quite bright at night so if you like to sleep in darkness use an eye mask. There was air con units running outside but not all night. We didn't see the person on reception often, he did arrange a taxi for us but it never turned up
