For our one night stay, thought with the location and standard of room great value. The room was modern, loved the tiles in bathroom and how the space was used wisely. The bathrooms near pool were really great too.
The front desk staff did seem unorganised and hard to communicate with. We were told we would get a text message when room was ready, which never came. The room wasn’t ready by 2pm and we saw others check in after us, go straight to a room (gave benefit of doubt that they had different room type). On check out, I asked if parking would be charged to the card given at check in, and was confidently told yes, but not the case and charged to a different card.
The parking is terrible and definitely shouldn’t be charged $50 to use. Very tight space (there is maybe 6 parks available total and you’re down amongst the property services workers (which I have no issue with - it must be horrible for them), with no signage on how to get to the front desk.
Room nice and clean. Large bathroom and quality bedding. Staff member helped us get netlix which wasnt working in our room. Car parking was limited but thankfully we had a disabled sticker so managed to get a bigger carpark that worked for us. Staff were friendly and helpful and we had a pleasant overnight stay.
If I could give 10 stars for staff I would. I had to travel with my 2 kids while my husband was having surgery so needed something close to the hospital. There was an error with my booking however it was generously rectified. Facilities are excellent, really clean and food is delicious. The pool was a life saver for my autistic child for regulation.
Highly recommend staying.
The staff were great! Very friendly and helpful. The downstairs bar/restaurant is so convenient and the food was delicious. I didn't use the pool area/bar (this seems more suitable for twenty-something year olds who are there to PARTY). A bit of a party house but it did NOT make my stay uncomfortable.The lift was not working (but staff did the heavy lifting). My room was dark and dingy and the bathroom, although clean, had septic smell. Bed comfortable and linen clean and crisp. (room needs more light). On a good bus route too.
I liked that it was an old building with new renovations. I like that they allowed us to change rooms when the ac unit leaked water. However in the first room there was a cockroach in it. Showers in both rooms leaked all over the floor and the door to the shower would push the rug when getting out of the shower, but overall it was a nice place to stay. Pool was gorgeous and quiet.
The property was well located to the allianz stadium, it took us about 7 mins to walk there which was awesome. Just down Oxford road is a plethora of restaurants. We also walked from the hotel to the Opera House stopping at the Anzac Memorial.
The rooms all have queen beds, small bathroom with shower. There are the basic coffee, tee, Nespresso, small fridge. I loved that the room was not cluttered with furniture which was not needed.
We didn’t take advantage of the pool restaurant/bar as I was travelling with a minor. I absolutely loved the hotel and the staff were amazing.
