The staff were excellent and could not do enough to make my stay pleasant. The bed was super comfortable and overall the room was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the chocolates they left in my room upon arrival.
The only down side was the the noise form the trams, however this subsided during the night so it was not really noticed.

This is an old heritage building looked after extremely well. Even though it is close to the railway station it is still very quiet. Close to Crown for food and an Indian Restaurant onsite. Must book with this. It is very busy.

A grand old building with a real feeling of history. Charming staff. Particularly the Irishman who greeted me warmly, and left a card and chocolates in the room. Added to the rich ambience.

Great value for money. The spacious suite had everything I needed and was well-maintained. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the Convention Centre and South Wharf. All staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Had one relaxing evening in the hot tub in the pool area. Highly recommended and will definitely choose again.
