A cheerful style sets the mood in the guestrooms and suites, while the waterfront location provides an energetic atmosphere.

Laundry too Expensive
Laundry was too expensive. $127 for 11 items. Staff didn’t care about this. Hotel close to the waterfront but there are other hotels close by. Very slow to clear tables. Will stay elsewhere next time.

Laundry too expensive
Great location, service slow, Laundry was a rip off, very expensive. When discussing this with staff, didn't care, we ended up with other people's laundry. $87 AUD for 5 items.

We loved the place!!
We spent several days here at the start of an organized tour. We were lucky enough to have a room on the main floor - so didn't have to negotiated the stairs (elevator is under repair). If we would have had to do that our stay may not have been as nice. The location is great - within easy walking distance to anything you need - Victoria & Alfred Harbor (mall, restaurants, bars, entertainment, etc.) and even to the weekend farmer's market. Staff was always friendly and helpful. We had a great stay. I didn't do breakfast, so can't speak to how good it was.

A great location for a city stay
We stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel was clean and had good facilities. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The location is ideal for accessing the waterfront. Our highlight was being serenaded to in the morning by the lovely, cheerful chef who cooked our eggs. Our only minor negative is that it was a bit noisy at night times.
