Staff were friendly and responsive. When you are making a booking, the hotel should let people know about the noisy construction work that starts at 6.45am six days/ week. Room is basic for the price and there are limited facilities. TV doesn’t allow screen mirroring.

We only stayed overnight and it was fine. However, and we were warned, parking can be a bit of a nightmare. The parking at the hotel was completely booked out when we arrived, and the hotel can’t reserve parking. We ended up parking in Harcourt Street. The room, in terms of space, was typical of rooms in Europe rather than the opulence you get for a similar price in most parts of Asia. Still, it was fine for an overnight stay - and convenient to where we had to go that night. Very much appreciated the in-room coffee machine and accoutrements.

The property is in a good location but not close to the station. There was a lot of construction work and it was noisy and a little disturbing.
