Pros:

Overall good property, in a convenient location, we didn’t go to the bar or rooftop but the noise quietened down by 9:30pm and we were on the 2nd floor and a nice continental breakfast in the morning included with pastries, yogurt, fruit etc.

Cons:

It’s a bit dated in the rooms.

Overly expensive for bad quality
Pros:

The location was quite central. Not too far away from things to do.

Cons:

All the mould in the bathroom. You can't even watch TV which is just ridiculous! I especially hated the very loud air-conditioning! All I could hear all night was loud humming and the sound of water bubbling. Urghh I am so disappointed! I didn't get to sleep at all!!! The price was really overly expensive for what you got and it certainly didn't reflect it's quality. The free breakfast was really average. Would be nice if the pod machine included instructions on how to use somewhere. Both me and another couldn't work out how to use it. And also I would expect hot water from the shower instead of Luke warm water. How disgraceful!

Clean, comfortable, and a great stay
Pros:

The room was clean, comfortable and a good size. They were really accommodating with holding our bags both pre check-in and post check-out, and prioritised our room to be ready slightly early.

Cons:

The property is on a busy junction, which might be difficult for light sleepers.
