"I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was very spacious and clean. My room was on one of the upper floors, so I didn’t experience any noise from the pub downstairs. The bed was also very comfortable. During my entire four-night stay, I didn’t see a single member of the hotel staff. If personal contact with staff is important to you, this might not be the right place for you. Apart from that, the location is great. You can easily get to the CBD, and many attractions are within walking...
