We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel - the staff are all super helpful - special shout out goes to Maurice - head of concierge. Really on the ball and knows what’s going on. Breakfast is especially good - everything super fresh and an excellent variety. Our room was of a good size and was extremely clean. Plates, knives and forks/ glasses and a decent sized fridge to keep drinks and wine cool should you want to - particularly good if you decide to get take out like we did on our last night. The pool although small on the top floor is a nice place to chill out with a drink and with great views over the Docks. The hotel is not located close to anything within walking distance and so you are required to get an Uber everywhere. Not an issue though as they are extremely cheap! A fantastic stay and would definitely return! Read less

What a great Hotel, with super friendly staff and a great vibe ! Everything is still brand new and in great condition. The Restaurant and Bar - super friendly and efficient. The views from the Pool Bar ( Studio) on the 17th floor - beautiful ! Location- “out of CBD traffic”.

Wonderful hotel, with very comfortable rooms. Everything was clean and well taken care of. The front desk staff were phenomenal! I would definitely stay here again. My only suggestion would be for the bath towels to be dried with a fabric softener or something to eliminate all of the lint. Otherwise, this is a great hotel!

Comfortable and functional hotel. Staff were very pleasant. We had to eat early so we appreciated that the restaurant was open all day. We had a good meal and the service was very nice. Staff at reception and at the entrance were pleasant and helpful. Fast internet too.
