Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered a cozy and relaxing experience with clean and comfortable rooms. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making us feel at home throughout our stay. The location was amazing, nestled in a beautiful garden campus close to the stunning Blue Mountains. However, the dining experience fell short of the hotel's general quality, with room for improvement in the variety of options. The price was justifiable for the overall experience provided.
I loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were super comfortable despite not offering any views, and the location on the first floor was great. The high room rate was worth it. The service was more than accommodating, although for the cost, I expected a bit more. The hotel's location was unbeatable, within walking distance of popular attractions. The dining experience was ordinary, not meeting the standards of a 5-star hotel as claimed. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the dining fell short of expectations and the rooms were not up to par for a 5-star establishment, the location was excellent with easy access to the Blue Mountains and modern amenities in the dining section.
The hotel had a convenient location with interesting hikes nearby. The rooms were small but offered late check-out until almost 5 pm, which was a downside for relaxation. The service seemed overworked and not engaging enough. The dining experience was good in the Orange Room, but the buffet setup was not ideal. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.
I had a very relaxing and enjoyable time at the hotel with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. However, the room's location next to the ladies' toilet in the hotel foyer was a bit inconvenient, and the view from the room was of the parking lot.
The hotel had a wonderfully decorated room with a bright pink wallpaper, offering a great dining experience despite a small and difficult-to-access shower. The staff were attentive and lovely, always checking on my requests, but the breakfast room was noisy and crowded.
