Great property and location. We stayed in the larger Arte Suite, which was fantastic. Only downside is if you have a car, parking options nearby are very limited.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was absolutely incredible—clean, beautifully designed, and smelled amazing. The staff were friendly, and the location was unbeatable, with retail, bars, restaurants, and clubs all nearby, plus easy access to trains and buses. One of the best places I’ve stayed, and I’d return in a heartbeat!
Ethan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was small & basic but nice. Not alot of space in the bathroom. No storage. No parking. But very convenient location to St Vincent's Private Hospital which is why we stayed there. Beautiful staff who were lovely & caring. Would stay again if we weren't bringing a car to Sydney.

Shoebox size room located above a bar. Definitely not worth 375 per night and would not stay again. Gave up after 3rd time of getting TV to work which was needed to drown out music from pool bar.

Room was great, and facilities lovely. Real shame that the pool is shaded in the afternoon as it meant it was too cold to swim but other than that a great stay!
