“We ended up booking a extra room for one night so we could spread out as there were 4 of us in a 2 bed room but it was quite tight. Great location and very reasonable prices.”

“The location of the hotel is amazing, just a 10/15 minute walk to the opera house. The markets were on when we visited for Xmas so that was nice to see. The price for the location is surprising as most hotels were much more expensive.”
