Great hotel! Stunning decor and friendly team.
Pros:

Beautiful decor - very funky interior. Comfortable bed and spotlessly clean.

Cons:

A bit noisy from 5am when the Woolworths warehouse staff next door started clattering loading trolleys round and talking loudly.

Lovely restored, themed hotel. Warm welcome and explanation of access to rooms and hotel after hours
Pros:

Loved the decor and the use of old photos and sports gear for the room theme . The reception area and lounge were a quirky visual feast . Love a heated towel rail when it’s winter . Plenty of choices of fresh fruit and cereals, yoghurt and teas for breakfast .

Cons:

I found the mattress a bit springy, but comfortable. My night was disturbed several times by the child in the next room screaming . The soundproofing between rooms seemed a bit sparse .
The road noise noted by previous guests was not an issue for me .

Pros:

Excellent location. Super clean room and complex. Comfortable bed. Fabulous breakfast, and amazing staff.

A lot of street noise especially from the main highway. Ear plugs beside our bed didn’t help, sadly.

Fantastic weekend loved the hotel, would gladly stay there again.
Pros:

Great location, we walked everywhere. Parking near the hotel is free after 4pm till 9.30am the next day. We chose to check in then park the car a block away where parking was free.

Cons:

We were way on a girls weekend. Although the glass in the bathroom was opaque it faced the bed. So it felt a little odd at times.

Quirky hotel close to shops and restaurants, with clean comfortable rooms.
Pros:

Poshtel was a quirky hotel with interesting memorabilia and themed rooms. Breakfast provisions were good too though it was only continental. Within walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Cons:

It was noisy in the mornings as our room was right next to the Woolworths loading bay. There was no off street parking and bathrooms were a little too small.
