2/10 Poor

I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for solo female travellers. On check out, the hotel demanded additional payment, and the men behind the front desk displayed aggressive behaviour. It was dark and very early morning with no one around. They called in extra men and wouldn’t let me leave until I paid them around $400USD. I had already paid the hotel for my stay. It was a scary experience.

Friendly staff. Rooms are big and have refrigerators, microwave, tea kettle. We enjoyed our stay. There’s also a pool and gym which we didn’t get to use. Can walk to CBD and arboretum from location

4/10 Fair

OK but not ideal for a good night's sleep
Whilst architecturally some nice touches, hotel did not send transfer for airport pick-up. When called, they said had no record. Not the case though. Most frustrating. Service was slow, albeit staff most friendly. Biggest issue was noise. The rooms are not well soundproofed at all. Very lo Iittle sleep.

Staff and service was amazing here. But the internet was really slow in my room and kept disconnecting. The food also takes forever to come to your room and the water completely turned off on my last day here. Other than that it was a very pleasing stay but not exceptional

Very nicely located hotel, very helpful staff and reception, good facilities such as gym, sauna, pool, excellent breakfast included. Rooms are clean and cleaned every dayI would go there again. The shower isn't very comfortable/modern but for the price it's a good deal
