A good stay with great staff on a budget.
Pros:

It was incredibly clean, the staff were genuinely amazing, and the location couldn’t have been better — everything came together to make the stay feel comfortable, easy, and wonderfully memorable. Thanks to the staff.

Cons:

The hotel was good for the price, and while the bed was okay and the couch wasn’t comfortable, the room itself was clean and perfectly fine for a short stay. It did everything we needed, but it’s not somewhere I’d choose for a special getaway.

Good location.
Pros:

The cost of the accomodation and the comfort of the room

Cons:

Don't be close to the Gym as people start using weights just after 6am, so a bit noisy. The room also didn't have any coat hangers just hooks, which is a bit difficult when requiring a suit. Not a great view out of the window - just a wall.

Fantafabulous !
Pros:

The property is very close to CBD and convenient to get about. The room was clean and well maintained. Especially the bathrooms which I’m usually particular about was very clean and the bedroom was really comfortable. Staff was extremely hospitable and the overall stay was a great first experience. Would highly recommend to friends and family and would also visit again.

Cons:

Would be nice if the reception was a bit more inviting. While I was waiting for my cabs it would’ve been nice to have a seat. I also wished there was bedroom slippers and robes to get into after a long work day.
