Excellent place to stay if you’re visiting hospital
Pros:

Lovely clean rooms- staff a nice too. I had a great sleep after visiting hospital all day. Very short stroll to the supermarket in one direction or Newtown in the other. Also recommend Aura Bali down the road if you need any pampering

Very disappointing stay. The room felt like a converted storage room, dark and with very little natural light. Soundproo
Pros:

Very disappointing stay. The room felt like a converted storage room, dark and with very little natural light. Soundproofing was terrible — we could clearly hear people showering and using the toilet next door.

Parking was advertised but only after making a non-refundable booking were we told it was fully booked. Parking nearby is extremely difficult, and even the entrance to the hotel’s car park is awkward and potentially dangerous.

Definitely not family-friendly, especially when travelling with children. Would not recommend.

Sojourn was great but be wary if booking.com as my booking was hacked.
Pros:

Easy check in. Clean and ready to use kitchen.

Cons:

The ceiling was low so if you are over 6ft should be wary of a ground floor apartment.
