This hotel was quite central to chinatown. The room was quite small and seemed to feel a bit dated. Bed was comfortable and had a good nights sleep. There was a standard window right above the shower, so people from the neighboring towers could look in at night when the light was on. Staff were helpful and nice, but the... More

Stayed here for one night for business - met all my needs. Staff very friendly and let us check in early which was very helpful. The hotel is an old historical building - so it is a bit quirky and interesting. Dont stay here if you want a modern building. Room had all the basics and included a kitchenette. TV... More

The location was particularly conveniant for my business meetings and I only had a short and enjoyable walk to the Rydges on Swanson for my conference. Good value... More

Tucked away in the rather quiet Little Burke Street, but in a good position to reach other points in the city. I was upgraded to a one bedroom suite which was very comfortable and clean with all the amenities that come with an apartment Hotel. Many of the rooms face direct to the walls of other buildings, and the glass... More

We were there very early (10.30am) and assumed rooms would not be ready but needed to drop the luggage off. Received a very friendly and prompt check-in - we had 2 x... More

I loved the layout, it was perfect for entertaining and suited me well as I had friends visiting me whilst I stayed there. I will definitely go back and... More
