Great trip, outdated room.
Hotel realm is beautiful and has a wonderful location! But the decor of the rooms are outdated, the carpet is terribly stained and the seating does not allow for a couple of families to be close together and comfortable. The robes provided have a horrible smell to them and the 24hr room service is not great! We did enjoy our night away and the bed was so unbelievably comfortable that you don’t wanna leave it. We would definitely stay again if the price was lower for what you get.

Great location. Excellent facilities. Friendly team. The pool area is great, but the hours are restricted - even needing to book at times, due to its use by the public.

Realm Room.
We booked the entry level room category which was still nice & spacious. Bathroom, carpet & walls looked clean, our bed throw had a few stains but the bed sheets and pillows were pristine white and smelled clean. Shower head is set pretty high up, I could just reach it, lol. But water pressure was good and there's lots of space on the bathroom vanity to spread out your product if needed. Our room was on level 2 and didn't get any disturbances from the wedding party down stairs. The wilson underground parking is convenient and free during weekend. Checkin staff were okay, not very warm or welcoming but efficient. We did received complimentary wine & chocolates in our room during our stay which was a nice surprise. Only feedback is more usb port or charging stations in room
