Guest Ratings & Reviews

Real Guest Experiences & Ratings

Alison

United Kingdom, July 2023

8.4/10

The hotel offers modern and spotlessly clean rooms with a spectacular floor-to-ceiling window next to the bed, exactly as expected. The service was exceptional, especially from the sociable ladies who even arranged tickets for an exhibition. The location is outstanding, near key attractions and with lovely extras like complimentary drinks. The dining is nice but could have more variety for the price. Overall, a great value for a memorable stay.

7.2/10

The hotel offers quirky rooms with nice furniture and fittings, clean and comfortable, but the dining experience may be disappointing. The service is great but has room for improvement in some areas. The location is fantastic with a few quirks. Overall, a decent value for money option.

Rooms

8.0

I loved how quirky the rooms were with the bed up against the window to maximize space. The furniture and fittings were nice, and everything was clean and comfortable.

Service

7.0

The service was very polite and the staff was friendly and courteous. However, there were slight issues with my door card swipe that need attention.

Location

9.0

The location is fantastic, close to the places I needed to go, but a little strange at first with the multi-storey car park taking up much of the building.

Dining

5.0

The dining options were a bit disappointing with bad coffee from a self-serve machine or expensive 'proper' coffee. However, there are excellent cafes in the area.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel offers car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping services, and a welcome drink for guests. However, the dining options within the hotel could be improved for a better experience.

8.0/10

The hotel is cozy and well-equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The rooms are on the smaller side, suitable for individuals but might be tight for couples or families with kids. I appreciated the thoughtful tea pot tray and cups on the bed for a soothing tea ritual before bedtime. On the downside, being located on State Circle means you're not within walking distance of cafes, and the hotel's cafe and bar are closed on weekends.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms have everything you need, but they are a bit small for couples or families with kids.

Service

9.0

The service was exceptional, with a warm and professional staff ready to assist with booking arrangements and other needs.

Location

7.0

The location was convenient for visiting Parliament House and exploring nearby cafes and restaurants, but it's not centrally located for city center access.

Dining

8.0

The dining experience was faultless with a great selection, but it's worth noting that dining options are at their sister hotel in a nearby cafe.

Facilities

The hotel facilities are well-maintained and cater to various needs like car hire, dry cleaning, and housekeeping.
