Categories

Cleanliness
7.2
Multiple reviews note hair, stains and mould in bathrooms and inconsistent room cleaning; cleanliness is a clear weakness but not universal across stays.
Service
9.9
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and efficient (easy check-in, attentive reception); several guests explicitly praised the team.
Location
10
Consistently praised — excellent central location near restaurants, cafes, live music and James Street; many guests highlighted convenience for dining and shopping.
Room Quality
8
Rooms are often described as stylish, spacious and comfortable (good beds), but there are recurring issues: dated elements, peeling wallpaper, stains, occasional cigarette smell and minor maintenance problems.
Amenities
9.8
Pool, minibar selection, rooftop bar and small foyer extras are frequently praised; the pool and rooftop renovation are noted positives despite a few comments about balcony vibe.
Value for Money
7
Several guests called out poor value due to steep valet/parking price increases (notably $85/night) and concerns about overall cost versus experience.
Food and Beverage
9.3
Mixed: welcome gestures (bottle of wine, good minibar range) are positives, though the onsite restaurant was described as ordinary by at least one guest.
Overall Experience
10
Overall sentiment is very positive — many guests say they'd return, enjoy the hotel's quirky stylishness and staff — with parking and intermittent cleanliness issues noted but not enough to outweigh strong positives.

Pros:

The staff were friendly and a good location.

Cons:

The toilet has hair and poo when we came in. The shower had pink mould and there were stains on the walls. It was dusty and had a funny smell.

Gorgeous, stylish hotel in an excellent location
Pros:

It’s always a pleasure to stay here, rooms are lovely and stylish and the bed is super comfortable, snacks and minibar have a great range. The pool is fantastic and the Reno to the rooftop bar is wonderful. Excellent location and can walk to James street. Lovely friendly staff

Cons:

I would have appreciated having a heads up about the significant increase to the cost of valet parking ( as a regular customer) - valet parking is the only choice you really have for safe (fine free)parking. It’s gone up to $ 85 from $65

Great if you don’t have a car
Pros:

Fun and clean

Cons:

Then parking was extremely expensive $85 per night and not having a 2nd option would make me choose somewhere else next time.
