My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although a bit small for a group of three. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was fantastic with plenty of dining options nearby, but it was on the 'seedy' end of town. The dining experience was pleasant, though a bit pricey. Overall, it provided good value for money.

The room I checked into was large, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. However, it seemed that housekeeping didn't complete their job entirely with the carpet not properly vacuumed and rubbish bins left untouched, including a smelly pizza box.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very spacious and clean with views to town from our room, which was great, but the breakfast set up was a bit lacking with just 1 frypan for the whole breakfast room. The hotel looked 'tired' and in need of a good clean to bring it up to its 5-star rating. Despite this, the warm service and accommodating staff made my stay enjoyable overall.

The hotel's rooms were comfortable, and the wonderful restaurant was located on the other side of the hotel and on higher floors, providing a close-to-sound-proof experience, which was a big plus for us. The service was impeccable, from arrival through checkout, with very friendly and professional staff who even brought our bags to the room. The hotel's location was great, especially for its close proximity to a top selection of restaurants, although it was unfortunate that some amenities were closed during our stay. The dining experience was delightful, with the flexibility to have meals delivered to the room, and the facilities were well-maintained.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were beautifully decorated and spacious, offering a lovely view of the city with the harbour bridge and sky city tower in sight. However, the lack of soundproofing within the room was a downside, making it a bit noisy. The service at the hotel was a bit hit-and-miss, with some staff showing indifference initially but ultimately accommodating our needs efficiently. The location was fantastic, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, offering a great experience. The dining options were delicious, but there were a few hiccups with ordering. The facilities were adequate but not outstanding.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were great, with a view and very close to other family members, but they were a bit tired and in need of a good clean to match the 5-star rating. The service was excellent, especially Emily at Reception, who was amazing and helpful. The location was wonderful, serving as a base to explore the city by foot or car, with great restaurants nearby. However, the dining experience was disappointing, with small portions served. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

Staying at this hotel was a luxurious experience with top-notch amenities in a great location. The rooms were clean and offered a night of luxury, complete with an espresso machine and a large TV. However, the service lacked some guidance and was a bit slow on a weekday evening. The central location was perfect for exploring the city, although towel restocking could have been better. The dining experience was exceptional with a variety of world cuisines. Overall, a great value for a high-quality stay.
