Our flight is very late of night and this hotel only view minutes from southern cross station by walk. And our standard room is only suitable for transit or people who only want to sleep and the next day we move to apartment.

I have mobility issues and need a walker. The room gave me plenty of room and the bathroom was perfect. The young lady at reception made sure I could access the room without having to use stairs. I could not find fault with anything. Thank you and I will definitely stay again

We were in the annexe this time, the rooms have no outside windows, just the two overlooking the atrium, but no problem as the room itself was better than the previous one in the main building. Lovely new bathroom, spacious bedroom, loads of mirrors :O

The staff are friendly and for the price, its a value for money. The shower is horrible and the fact that you cant cool the room as the AC is semi centrally controlled, I wouldn't stay again.

Conveniently located near the train station. Only bad thing is that I was staying with my daughter and requested a room with single beds which upon arrival found out was on Level 4. As I am not good with heights, I had a panic attack in the elevator. When I went down to Reception to request to change rooms, they informed me they don't have twin beds on the ground floor. Perhaps this is something that they need to look into for those guests who are coming to stay and cannot do heights. Perhaps have twin bed room options on the ground or Level 1.

The room was clean and well presented, and the in-room amenities were reasonable and maintained to a good standard. The bed was comfortable and the overall condition of the room was satisfactory. Unfortunately, the lack of sound insulation significantly impacted my stay. Noise travelled very easily throughout the building. I could clearly hear conversations and activity in the corridor, sounds from adjacent rooms, and traffic noise from outside. The biggest issue, however, was the air conditioning unit. It was quite loud during operation, and each time it started a new cycle during the night, it woke me up. This happened multiple times, resulting in a disrupted night’s sleep. While the room itself was clean and functional, the noise levels made it difficult to rest comfortably. Improved soundproofing and quieter air conditioning would greatly enhance the guest experience.

There wasn’t a remote control for the aircon/heater and the room was very cold. I rang reception, they told me to use the remote control that I had told them I had already searched for, and wasn’t there. Eventually they came to the room with a generic remote and spent 15mins trying to make the heater work…at midnight.
