Thexroom was a box. No view, no windows. But comfortable bed. No chairs in the room, a minus for me. Very quiet.

Okay - good location

Location was great and staff too. My room area had a plumbing fault, no hot water for 1.5 days. Room also needed a refurb? Tile grouting mouldy and paintwork old. TV arm faced away from chair and bed so not practical

This hotel could be much better with some attention to detail. We paid extra for daily housekeeping and on 2 of our 6 nights did not receive service. One of those 2 nights it was just too late and we were too exhausted to wait for it. We were promised a credit on ONE night of housekeeping that never materialized. While the front desk paid lip service to our inconvenience, they never did really address the problem other than to offer late check-out (which was appreciated) and free breakfast. When we did receive housekeeping, I noticed that the room was not vacuumed nor swept, which is kinda gross. This hotel is located close to transportation and very convenient to Southern Cross Station which is why we chose it and also what makes it noisy. We did not mind the train noise though. All-in-all it was an okay stay, but with just a little effort could be much better.

Very strange layout for a hotel. We were on the sixth floor but still had to go up 3 stairs. This floor of the hotel is not recommended for people with accessibility challenges. However this location is close to the free tram that takes you to the docklands
