Guests consistently praise the hotel's excellent location, within walking distance of the city center, New Regent Street, and the Cardboard Cathedral, with a handy bus station nearby. Many appreciate the modern, spacious rooms, some featuring a kitchen block, and the convenience of having amenities like a microwave and dishes. There's a lovely garden for relaxing, and a fabulous café just behind the apartments, though a few guests have noted that some rooms can feel a bit small.

convenient and clean stay

great locationcomfortable roombonus air-conrude staff
the location proved amazing, i walked a few minutes to little high eatery and some nice bars! the location in the cbd meant a casual stroll to the cathedral and other sights. the super clean rooms felt comfortable and air-con helped a lot.
the reception staff seemed bothered with questions and overall wasn't super accommodating. when asking about somewhere to park, there were no suggestions and the parking lot was full. i feel there are not near enough parking to the number of units.
