Reviews of Nightcap at Atherton Hotel
Emily Nguyen
Nice view. High recommend for everyone stay here. Staff is friendly and nice locations
Iva Smits
The rooms are clean but not as nice as the pictures. Noisy as rooms back onto pub so you get intoxicated anti social behaviour. Car parking is back alley style and is graffittied and has a dumpster bin.
Reinhold Riege
Amazingly good room. Beds / mattresses are quite soft. Gambling rooms at the ground floor one must like.
Lynda Waye
I travel heaps for work. The beds are extremely comfortable. Best l have encountered. However this visit l have encountered-no tissues and no breakfast availability even though that’s part of the deal and no face washer. One AC for dual set up room 22. Couldn’t be felt in main bedroom. Love the touch of Tim Tams in the room but melted. Limited parking availability for people who are travelling.
Bec Ashley
We had a fantastic stay here while visiting Atherton! The rooms are spacious and clean, the bathroom is modern with a nice big shower and the bed is perhaps the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in! Even though it is above the pub, you’d never know, the room was super quiet. The staff are friendly and the bistro downstairs serves delicious meals and a wide range of tap beers. We’ll definitely stay...
