A good hotel but extortionate cost. I know rates were higher because of the Commonwealth Games but how can you justify that cost, particularly as the breakfast was nothing much to write home about. The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly an oriental lady.

Great location in the city centre. We were on 2nd floor and the rooms probably need a refurbishment.

They were doing some work on one of the elevators but that was not a problem. The room was small but fine. It is well located near Queen Street station and a great place to use as a base for visiting the city.

Loud construction sounds during the visit, starting at 9 am. Was jet lagged and trying to get some extra sleep, so did not help.
The rooms are very old and a bit grim. The lobby is quite modern and a bit misleading. It turns out they are renovating (hence the noise).
I would hope they can keep the noise down early in the morning. Staff were pretty helpful and overall it was fine for a last minute booking on the cheap side.

Room was clean and refurbished. The refurbished rooms were still quite narrow and the room seemed very small. The hotel is undergoing a refurbishment so amenities are not all there yet. Breakfast was nice.

Fantastic location, friendly staff, in particular, the reception staff and housekeeping manager. Rooms are a little dated and expensive for what you get. However, no issues with cleanliness which is important to me!
