FINAL THOUGHTS
The staffs throughout the hotel are fantastic, from the reception, restaurant and bar staffs. They are splendid and have been lovely.
Customer Service: 9/10
The Junior Exec Suite is superb, and the views are breathtaking. However, during weekends the noise from Victoria Square can get deafening, as the walls in the room are really thin.
Some furniture decors can be tiring and can use a upgrade.

HUSH HUSH SECRET TIPS:
Don’t Drive - The Tram and E-scooters are super cheap if you want to enjoy the self-exploration of the city. Recommended to grab the public tram day-pass or download the E-scooter app such as Beam and Neuron.
