Staff were lovely and responsive, happy to help and followed up about little details with my staff. Shout out to
Room was spacious and clean mostly with a hard bed. I think it's Quinsam?
Plenty of facilities like a gym and pool which is nice.
Wi-Fi was great (paid extra) so I was able to use it easily.
Had nice complimentary like coffee and tea.
Had a nice restaurant on the roof that had decent food.
Location decent to the city particularly if you have a car and has parking onsite.
Within walking distance to bus and trams.
Quiet area and near the city so nice location.
Room was mostly clean except the toilet wasn't cleaned thoroughly.
TV only had regular TV options and didn't have access to connect your own streaming services which was disappointing.
Walls were thin and I could hear the person next door on the phone.
Not within walking distance to a supermarket (except a little milk bar) but if you have a car, it is great!

I stayed for a week at this hotel. On two separate days I returned after a day at work to find my room unlocked. On the first occasion I was prepared to accept there had been human error by cleaning staff. I reported to the helpful front desk manager immediately and asked to be escorted to my room and for him to check that the room was secure before I entered which he willingly did. The staff assumed it was to do with an automatic door closer which they then had their maintenance team adjust. On the same evening I discovered my fridge had malfunctioned and turned into a "hot box". Food items I stored there perished. That problem was fixed the following day. Staff kindly put my newly purchased items in the staff fridge overnight.
Two days later I again returned to find my room unlocked. I found this completely unacceptable, given that the hotel knew there had been a problem. When I allowed the door to close itself on leaving it worked perfectly. A hotel that cannot ensure security of guest rooms is not taking their business or competition seriously enough in my view.
Thankfully my valuables were in the room safe. But my personal safety was as much of an issue for me.
I could not recommend this hotel to any female guest travelling alone.
