Great service, location and comfort at a good price. The gym is well equipped and there is an indoor pool and steam room. Southern cross is a 5 min walk with the CBD just 10 minutes away. We especially appreciated the complimentary coffee pods and milk. The amenities could improve by providing bottled water. The beds were comfortable, and the room was spacious and clean. Overall a great stay, hig...

I recently stayed for 2 nights with My Mum and Daughter. The room was very clean and well presented & the mattress was amazing to sleep on. The pool looked lovely too but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to have a swim. The location was good and close to where we needed to be. The staff were also very welcoming and happy to help. I would stay again no problem and highly recommend.

First impressions were great, and the facilities look impressive. However, for a hotel of this standard, a few key details really missed the mark. There was no minibar in the room, and the late-night room service menu didn’...
