The room was neat, tidy, and comfortable and would definitely come back again based on the room alone, but only for business. This is largely because if work is paying for the second rate breakfast, Terrible coffee and cafe like conditions then that's fine but I would hate to pay it myself. The staff we incredibly helpful and nice but... More

Booked this hotel since close to Fenner Hall, where our child lives. Reasonably priced, good room with good bed. However... Even with the window closed en air conditioning on, the talking people in the car park under our window woke us up, over and over, the water pipes had a fantastic high pitched sound to it, so we woke up...

We booked this hotel on hotelclub and got an amazing rate, $100 pn (direct with hotel could not match rate). For this price we werent expecting much but were pleasantly surprised. The room was clean and furnished with modern fittings. It was in a great location and included free secure parking. I wouldnt recommend the breakfast and a little noisy... More

Stayed two nights at this hotel earlier this week and I was impressed all round. Checkin was efficient and helpful, being offered an upgrade from my room to a one bedroom apartment at a reduced cost. So glad I took up the offer, the apartment gave my son and I a bit more space and privacy... plus it had two... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights as we had stayed here a number of times before. The location is excellent and the restaurant and bar are equally good. This time, however, we had an experience which will make sure that we stay elsewhere in the future. The room we were given was small, the bathroom was tiny and... More

We stayed at this hotel for one night in March 2013. Very easy to locate and situated in great location. Whilst you could walk to city centre in about ten minutes there is bus stop right outside the door. Rooms were great, setting very nice, like staying in a rainforest. Free parking

The Pavilion on Northborne offers comfortable and affordable accommodation that is just a little bit different to normal hotels. Rooms on all levels surround a central atrium which houses a restaurant and a bar that is set in lush indoor gardens. The gardens seemed just a little overgrown this trip, but we still enjoyed this fairly novel setting. The rooms... More

The stay was enjoyable, the atrium is actually really lovely and while our room was on ground level right near the restaurant the greenery did block some of the sound. A bit frustrating and disappointing to have to provide a $200 bond for a two night stay, I don't see how I'd spend that on mini bar and if that's... More

From the rather tired reception, one proceeds to one of most depressing rooms I've ever stayed in. It was clean and had a large bathroom with great shower and water pressure but that's it. Otherwise, it was drab and brown, with more businessman's brown in every direction! The furnishings were cold and uninviting and the Tv's were so dated, not... More

Very tired, in spite of a "refurb"... Pleasant staff is all i can really say. The finishing touches just aren't there. Grubby, tired decor..vinyl lounge was marked, melted bread wrapper on toaster, incomplete dinnerware and glasses-which were scratched plastic ones. The bathroom needed maintenance, the toilet had loose fastenings and had plumbers tape holding parts together. In our 3 night... More
