Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers immaculately cleaned and beautifully appointed rooms with a comfortable bed and modern French-inspired theme. The service is top-notch, going above and beyond to fulfill every request. The location is excellent, within walking distance to key attractions, though parking can be pricey. The dining experience, while high quality, may have occasional delays. The facilities are well-maintained, making for a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a lovely outlook and a glimpse of the beautiful harbor. The rooms are well-appointed and comfortable, featuring nice decorations. The service is top-notch and welcoming. The location is great for exploring the botanic garden walk and the central city. However, the dining options were limited, falling short of expectations. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service and a convenient location.
The hotel rooms were lovely, beautifully appointed, and exceptionally comfortable, offering a clean and comfortable stay at a good value. However, the hotel is below the standards expected in some aspects.
The hotel offers beautiful and very spacious rooms with wonderful city views. The curtains are efficient at keeping out ambient light, though they may be slightly below the hotel's usual standards. The rooms, while a little small, were enough for our needs.
The hotel is located in a quiet business area but is within walking distance to all attractions and restaurants, making it convenient. The rooms are luxurious, warm, and comfortable with a fantastic rain shower experience, but the car parking is quite expensive. The dining options offer a superb experience, especially with the delicious French toast, while the hotel lacks views and has dull surroundings.
