Outside, wander art-filled arcades rich with the aroma of roasted coffee. Explore avant-garde galleries and bustling boutiques. Or catch a show in the city’s thriving theatre district.

“For us, the location was perfect, the staff and care for the guests was welcome, value for money”
I liked that there is actually a staff member on duty 24/7. I appreciated the free coffees available in the lobby. The complementary drink at Happy Hour in the lobby was an unexpected but welcome touch.

“An amazing location with plenty of coffee and lollies, all wrapped up with friendly smiles and a rea”
I really loved the complimentary lollies and coffee in the lobby, such a thoughtful touch. Given the apartments only have one toilet in the bathroom, having additional bathrooms in the hallways was also a great feature. The reception staff were always friendly and welcoming whenever we passed through, whether it was 6am or 11pm.
