If you want an accurate description of what it’s like to stay here, read all the other 1, 2 and 3 star reviews. I thought it was people just overreacting but pretty much everything in these reviews rung true. There is no way on earth that this is a 4 star hotel. The building was old, dirty and smelly. Only one of the two key cards worked in the lift and extra key cards could not be provided. The reception staff were unhelpful and disengaged. I did use the gym, pool or spa. The state of cleanliness of the rest of the hotel left me little faith that these facilities had been hygienically maintained. The establishment overall delivered the bare minimum service I would expect from an inner city budget hotel, far below its price point. Very poor value for money. I will not being staying here again.

The studio room we stayed in was good and the hotel is in a prime location - just minutes walk from central station and the light / rail tram line. I would like to note however many public areas of the hotel need better cleaning and maintenance. The ceiling of the pool area area for example has a huge peeling paint issue and there were many cracked tiles on pillars and general walkways. The gym also felt quite stuffy and we were disappointed there were no sets of hand weights, just big gym machines.
