Great property located close to everything in the city. Only complaint would be the back alley where parking is was noisy at night and the rubbish bins from nearly restaurants etc were left open.

This property is in a great location and is central to everything including transport. Well presented but the 2 bed apartment had a funny layout of furniture in the living room. Comfortable but not luxurious

Everything worked well. Room was very spacious with a lovely large covered balcony. Old-worldly, it looks like it's from the same vintage as the old parliament house. Reception team were great. No room servicing on Sunday we discovered but that was no big deal. Kitchen facilities in room were good. Very comfy bed. Basic but modern bathroom.
