Location great. Hotel very beautiful. The indoor plants make the hotel look cozy. They did housekeeping every day. So it was nice to come back to clean room. Breakfast very basic but it was filling. Overall it was great place to stay and we definitely come back again!!

Would have given 5 stars but for the plastic chrome coming of bathroom fittings. Despite a refit, I am sure that these items are original from when I first stayed here 25-30 years ago.

Just needs some updates. Front of property messy in garden, torn canopy over restaurant. Tired looking. Needs a pool bar,zero ambiance there. I was the only person in the pool most of the time. Cleanliness was great. Housekeeping staff amazing, front of house fantastic and bar staff. Clean rooms and crispy white sheets. Lovely. Just needs new carpet and a spruce up because location is fabulous away from noisy Mitchell st, near the harbour. Food was fantastic, shout out to the chef. Most amazing steak dinner. The atrium is absolutely beautiful. Great ambiance there. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you can look past its tiredness. Higher floor would be amazing view of harbour.
