There was ample room complete with good two seater couch and table & chairs. The room was upstairs, with full length windows, so we had a good view of the passing city life; a good point in such a flat city. The bed was supportive but transferred jiggles from each person moving in the bed. Double glazing made the room quiet and warm. Good parking onsite.Show More

Check in was easy and hotel location is quite easily accessible. It's lucky that our rooms are on ground floor so that's welcome news after ~ 12 hours of travel.

It's lucky that our rooms are on ground floor so that's welcome news after ~ 12 hours of travel. Place is walking distance to Cardboard Cathedral but not really walking distance to botanic gardens.Show More
