The location was ideal for our travelling purposes and wasn’t too expensive. The beds were also quite comfortable.

The milk was left out of a fridge. The shower head leaked. The silicone in the shower wasn’t doing what it needed to do as when you showered, the bathroom floor was drenched. Not very good lighting in the bathroom. Unclear on where we were meant to go to check in and had to go through the main bar with luggage.

location dining in good

too much light came in from spot lights on building even with curtain closed

Location

TV reception not always good Reception staff not particularly friendly

The rooms were spacious

There was no heating at all. Given that its winter, its quite disappointing that they dont even have working heaters. The remotes didn’t even work sadly.

Great sized rooms, it is an old hotel built in 1870 but it was clean although a little mould in the bathroom, probably due to age. The staff were lovely and helpful...the food in the bistro was good and reasonably priced. Great location with easy access to Central Stn and Country buses.

There was a little mould in the bathrooms but probably dur to age. Due to the late closing of the hotel, the music could be heard from thr room on the 1st floor.

Comfortable room with private ensuite right next to Central station and the light rail. Lovely bistro dinner too.

The room did allow light in from outside even with the curtains closed.

Friendly helpful staff

Ideal location for travel around city events

The mould in the shower recess around bottom tiles .

Great location and value for money. Beds were comfortable and staff very helpful.

The carpets could've done with a bit more cleaning. Windows to able to be open meant no fresh air into the room.

The whole place

Nothing about it

location and vibe

Upon checkout staff were pretty rude. It was pretty much give us your room key & get out. I had actually planned to leave my suitcase there because I was travelling later on in the day. After the attitude we got I didn't bother. I would've bought food & drinks at the hotel but I ate elsewhere instead. I am a regular guest at this hotel & choose to stay here because of the convenience of location. I might think twice before booking here again.

Checkout time is incorrect We hear everything of other rooms, and corridors. We hear the light rail passing by it vibrates the whole room

The location was top! Close to the central station (15 minutes from the airport), plenty of restaurants in the area and close to city center. The check-in and the check-out simple, big rooms and clean sheets/towels

The furniture was old, but for us it was not that relevant.

We had to change our plans due to weather, and the staff at the Royal Exhibition went above and beyond to accommodate us and ensure we could stay in the same room for the full week. The room was really large and they allowed us to keep our bikes in the room. Housekeeping was regular and the room was clean and tidy. The connections to public transport are excellent, and there are a number of great dining options nearby (including the pub downstairs). Other reviewers have talked about the light rail noise and light from outside, but it didn't bother us at all - we slept like logs on one of the comfiest beds I've ever had in a hotel room.
