Easy parking, nice area, modern rooms, comfy beds. Our room was closest to the elevator but it was so nice and quiet! It would have been nice to have a toilet brush and a soap dispenser or soap holder next to the bathroom sink (there was bar soap but no soap holder). Note that there were liquid dispensers with nice smelling body wash, shampoo & conditioner in the shower, which was great.

Stayed for an event at RNA. Yes you pay a bit of a premium but the convenience is amazing. The beds and pillows are so comfortable… we had a group of 5 and everyone said the same thing.

Great location. Close to cafes, restaurants, Tivoli Theatre, Exhibition Grounds and RBWH. We had a quiet room. Never heard another person when we were in our room. Our room was large compared to many others in big cities we’ve stayed in, close to lift and bathroom had everything that was needed.
