Close to hospitals and walking distance to great restaurants - either in the same street or to China Town in the Valley. Bus stop to the city is a short walk that is safe and clear to get to. Staff are helpful, well organised and friendly. Have stayed a few times and will be returning.

Great location and good value for money. The only frustrating thing was room service would take over an hour to arrive (advertised as 15 minutes) and our rooms weren’t refreshed when requested.

Hot room

The room was incredibly hot. I turned the aircon on to the lowest temperature and after half an hour the room was still hot. I left the room for it to a chill a bit before coming back at night and it was still hot. I reported the issue to concierge, but apart from using a temperature gun aimed at the air vent, did nothing to rectify the issue. This made for an uncomfortable valentines with my partner as it was too hot to go under the blankets. Giving 2 stars because breakfast was fantastic.
