"Would definitely stay here again."

10.0

Clean and tidy. Great location very hospitable staff. Easy to book and quick check in

Pillows on te bed too hard but swapped them for too softer ones in the cupboard. I always travel with my own pillow anyway so it wasn’t a major issue. We couldn’t get the TV to work. Seems like the remote control. It’s been unhelpful but didn’t really matter. We just watched YouTube on the iPad. All good.

"A perfect place to stay, for those who have family needing to stay at Kensington or Southern Cross Hospitals. Such a con"

9.0

Location - so close to Kensington Hospital, restaurants, good coffee, and gym just across the road. Quiet. Clean and very comfortable. Spacious, with ample of everything in the kitchen. Beautiful shower pressure.

A dated building, but very well maintained. Everything was great.

The staff provided excellent service. We checked in after the official check-in time, and they gave us very clear instructions. The room was extremely clean and quiet, with strict policies against noise.

The only minor issue was that the water pressure in the shower was a bit weak.
