The location was great just down the road from the rail station and bus station where the skybus came in . Also it was a pick up point for excursions which helped.
Room cleaned every day and nice room.

Was clean and looked after the staff were so friendly
The rooms are very clean and quite spacious. The location was fantastic so close to everything and easy access to trams/transport. Staff were nice and it was great they are open 24/7 as I arrived after midnight. I didn’t try the restaurant, bit it always looked busy at breakfast. I would happily stay here again.
Run down, leaky AC units, dirty towels on floors to mop up the leaks.. and very overpriced. Location is good for a base but there are superior, better priced hotels close by.
I stayed for 4 nights so i didn’t have room cleaning but the room was well equipped and the reception staff were great. I’d recommend this hotel
