Leisure & Business

This hotel goes the extra mile to provide guests with fitness classes to help them stay fit.

“The hotel's prime location near the Opera House and Royal Botanic Gardens is undeniable; however, there are reports of wear, tear, and outdated facilities that prospective guests might consider. For those drawn to historical ambiance blended with modern luxury, this could still present a worthwhile experience given its art collection, but awareness is key. One hopes management addresses these concerns to recapture its former splendor.”

disappointing room quality

convenient locationmusty smelllouvered partition
the location was indeed very convenient, close to the opera house.
The room smelled musty, and the walls had noticeable stains. I found it quite off-putting. there wasn't a proper door between the bedroom and the toilet, just a louvered partition. this setup felt strange and not very private!
