The staff though courteous we not helpful or proactive. All a rather average experience topped off by a shocking nights sleep that was caused by noisy guests - that the staff... More

“Good Stay”

Reviewed May 12, 2013

I would recommend this hotel if one is coming for a business trip. Location is near perfect, which should be considered just outside the CBD. If you need to get to a supermarket, don't forget there is one just at the train station. Fast food restaurant, MacDonald is also at the other corner of the building. Booking is also easy.... More

“Excellent place to stay”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

This really is the best value and quality place to stay. Great breakfast, nice rooms, friendly people. It's right in the middle of the city and is very handy. Kids loved the pool and the breakfast really is the best buffet around. Highly recommended.

this hotel is very central to the city and the railway station & the harbour. We were able to walk the short distance to the railway station & get the shuttle bus for $2 each to catch the inter island ferry. We could also walk to the city shops and the cable car which was great. Great hotel, friendly staff... More
