Loved it
Clean and tidy apartment with everything that you need to a good stay. Close to shops, restaurants and public transport (tram, bus and train). And just 35 minutes walk in to the city this place is perfect. Close enough to the city but far enough out to be quiet.

Convenient Location
Last minute overnight stay; staff very accommodating. Shopping, restaurants, and transportation nearby. Excellent location although not the fanciest place, but fine for a quick stay.

This property is convenient with good sized rooms and some secure parking. Carpets are tired and don’t expect to park one of the new breed of supersized utes….you won’t get in the gate! Otherwise it’s a reasonable value property.

I loved the security entry, the bathtub , the decoration piece in the towels a really nice touch; very clean,and wonderful staff ~ very understanding; bed very comfortable - I slept best I have in a while ~ fantastic that pets are welcome ~ only criticism I have is extra fee for parking when there is a car park attached to property- makes it very expensive when adding this ~ should be included in price ~ other than that I would be back in a heartbeat

A comfortable stay in a convenient location
We chose this hotel because of the price and the excellent reviews. It is close to medical facilities and there is plenty of choice for places to eat. The room we had was a little old but clean, and there was plenty of space .... and the bed was comfortable! There was a little traffic noise at night and in the morning, but not a problem as the hotel is on a side street between two major roads. Everything worked, from kitchen appliances to lights. Parking $18 p/n. Bring your own bathroom requisites as they are not supplied. Service from staff was excellent: we appreciated the phone call to explain late arrival arrangements and the friendly face behind the counter the next day.

lovely quiet area, thought for money value we would have been supplied with more than 1 soap , 1 small milk and no shampoo or conditioner, for 3 adult guests, in the delux apartment.

Property does need updating and the cleanliness was a bit ordinary. Staff at reception were very nice.? The fact that my dogs could be there was a bonus.

The location is excellent. It was a bit difficult with a baby and pram and STUFF to be on the top floor with no lift, but aside from that the Birches staff were helpful and accommodating and it's so easy to get everywhere from there!

Have stayed here twice. Great value for money. Clean, spacious apartment, kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Beautiful big windows! On site parking right at the door and an outdoor area with bbq. The staff are so lovely and accomodating-early checks ins, late check outs and even storing my items safely that I accidentally left behind.
