The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The location was also great, which is just minutes away from the city centre. Room was very clean too.

Although we were lucky the neighbors were quiet during our stay, the soundproof was not so great at this hotel, as you can hear almost everything the neighbors make. We also didn't like the bed that much.

Location and staff

The pricing feels high considering the facilities provided and the relatively small room size.

"It was very good. I would stay again."

8.0

The location was good; away from the main streets and so was quiet in the evening. I like seeing the birds in the garden using the bird bath, and the other birds out the back in the trees. I liked the colourful giant flower/tree plants in the gardens. The gardens looked well maintained. The host was friendly and greeted us nicely.

I couldn't pick anything that I didn't like. It was all good.
