Guest Reviews
- Mary (8/5): -
- Sukhjeet (8/5): Be careful it’s an old age care not a hotel - Not much It’s old retirement village not suitable for general public.
- Clinton (9/5): -
- Joska (5/5): Strange atmospher, felt like I was in rehab. - I am not sure why this is offered as a hotel option when booking via Booking.com. It is in a religious centre with basic facilities and there is a strong religious atmosphere, which will not be suitable for many people. Although clean and friendly overall, it felt more like a detox/rehab facility than a hotel. Breakfast was very minimal (toast, jam, yoghurt) in a big empty hall with only one, very silent other guest. I did not feel comfortable and think the price was very high for what was offered. Be clear to state what the place is about, it is not a hotel.
- Kalyat (9/5): Stay at St Joseph's - Peaceful atmosphere, well kept, quiet, serene place. The staff were very nice too. It's a little expensive for us.
- 8961eb9a1ef170463314b73abdf43ee1 (1/5): I did my booking and they took the money they didn’t refund the whole amount back. - Zero dirty hotel. Staff did not help me.
- Stephanie (10/5): Great time away with kids - Very good Gardens
- Michael (10/5): We had a lovely overnight stay and will definitely stay here again. Thank you. - It was set in a beautiful, peaceful location. Our room was large, comfortable and inviting. Bedside lamp switches were difficult to access and we had to pull out the bed to turn them on - ok for me but too heavy for some. Maybe they could be left switched on at the wall. Otherwise, everything else was perfect.
- Thomas (10/5): -
- Roger (4/5): Not the best place for your average traveller - Position Felt like a dormitory
- Little (8/5): Very clean and comfortable, quiet. - Very clean and comfortable. Perfect for what we needed. Nothing

- Sevanaia (10/5): Love stay in the hotel - Good Stuff
- Flavia (10/5): Lovely staff and comfy and clean rooms - Friendly staff I wish there was eggs for breakfast. But they had others things and good coffee ☺️
- Lynn-Maree (9/5): Warm and friendly staff and very clean property - Very clean, warm and friendly. Was fit for my purpose Loved it all
- Ying Hui (7/5): Would stay at another accommodation nearer to the station - Room was clean. Quietest room I’ve stayed in thus far, excellent for light sleepers. Norwest station is 15 mins walk away. Not sure if continental breakfast sounds fancy to some but simple breakfast was provided - bread, jam, granola and yogurt. Room has no mini fridge. Housekeeping was only available on one day and upon request. To be exact, the housekeeper only emptied the bin and changed one set of towels. No vacuuming and changing of bed sheets. When I requested for housekeeping on another day, I was told it wasn’t available but I saw the housekeeper around.
For those taking public transport, the location isn’t ideal especially if you have luggage with you. Virtually impossible to lug them because the accommodation is up the hill. The way from Norwest station to the accommodation is not brightly lit. In fact, the path from the road up to the accommodations is not lit at all. Had to use my phone’s torch so it can be quite terrifying for female solo travellers.
- Eliane (9/5): If you are after good value for money, comfortable, safe and clean place, this place feels like you are at grandma’s hou - Great location , very clean, friendly staff, simple and comfortable ! Would improve breakfast a little bit with some more healthy options like eggs .

- Bennett (10/5): Good value and easy to reach on public transport - Comfortable, spacious and quiet. It was easy to reach the accommodation via train and bus, and I found local shops and cafes only 5 minutes away. This is a retreat space and not a snazzy hotel, but it's a lovely place to stay.

Our room had air conditioning so it was warm and cozy. The beds weren't super comfortable, and the breakfast room was quiet cold.

For those who drive, there is carpark on site. The room is comfortable and clean. No TV and no minibar (but there is free wifi provided), shared pantry and laundry room. The chapel was a bonus for me. ❤🙏.

- Elaine (5/5): If an organisation charges rates comparable to local motels, it should also provide requisite services. One of us has mo - The beds and linens were good. There was not enough staff to complete tasks. Rooms were only serviced once in four days and on request. The rooms were advertised as having flat screen tvs. Ours did not. There were several lounges with tvs. The one closest to our rooms had a tv with only a few stations accessible. The software had not been updated since 2008! The garbage in the lounges was not collected and started to smell.
