“Subtle, comfortable luxury in a compelling and dynamic location”
Location is great, and the free bikes on offer are such a great idea! Wish I'd utilised this more, but there's always next time! The facilities on-site are impeccable - the pool even supplies towels, so that's one less thing to pack! And there's a supermarket within the Pentridge complex, which is insanely convenient.

“A very very special hotel experience”
The room was amazing! So special to relax in & notice all the wonderful design details. The service team was also wonderful. They made it feel special from checking in. Also, the mini bar is very reasonably priced ($22ish for a full sized bottle of wine). Dinner at the restaurant was very special too!
