Pros:

Location was great to access downtown and restuarants. Liked that we coudl cook when we wanted to and could get fresh air in both bedroom and lounge.

Cons:

Bathroom layout - sink had no where to put sponge bag or moisturisers etc when I was using them. A shelf or extended sink bench would be useful.

Uitzicht en comfort
Pros:

Geweldige kamer en het uitzicht was top!

Cons:

Als je binnenkomt is er meteen een trap waar je je zware koffer omhoog moet sleuren. Een helling zou gescheelt hebben, als je rolstoeler bent kun je het helemaal vergeten..

Très bon emplacement. Services proposés très intéressants. Chambre propre et spacieuse.
Pros:

L'emplacement est très bon. Nous avons pu prendre le tram pour venir de la gare jusque l'hôtel. Nous avons pu faire tout à pied. Le Queen Victoria Market, les centres commerciaux, les restaurants.
