    The velux window in our room did not lock securely and produced a wind noise due to the weather outside.

    Good breakfast. Original room that was booked had a problem so we were upgraded to a larger room as compensation with no quibble. We ate in the restaurant on the three nights we were there and enjoyed the food without exception. It was good quality and the prices reasonable. The restaurant was always busy with a pleasant vibe and friendly servers. Check in/out was straight forward and the reception staff efficient and welcoming.

    I had requested a sea view room and was told that that request had been granted but unfortunately that wasn't the case. The room (I appreciate it was a single) was tiny and a bit claustrophobic

    Restaurant was good for dinner - unfortunately I was leaving too early to have breakfast as it doesn't start until 8 am. on Sundays and I hadn't realised when booking Staff very good and attentive great views

    There is a couple of bits of maintenance needing doing or just a bit of a refresh (the bath panel has an access point in it without any screws so pops off occasionally, old heater in the room that's not working - can it be removed). The walls seem very thin as you can hear the chat in the room next door and at night their snoring.

    The location is great and plenty of parking for the hotel guests. If you choose to eat in the restaurant then the quality of the food and the service is smashing.

    The room was located above the kitchen, and you could smell the odour of cooking. I didn't feel i could leave the window open as it backed onto a small walkway, and it didn't seem safe.

    Location and staff were great

    Can't think of anything specific, but I think the premises could be more secured with one card access to the facility

    The breakfast was amazing with many options to choose from compared to other hotels. The rooms were clean and well equiped. We really liked the wall colors, they were simole but relaxing. It is just next to the Botany Bay beach, so a great location.

    Could do with a mini fridge in family room just to keep milk & drinks cold as room does get very warm. WiFi connection isn’t great in the rooms.

    Superb location, right on top above Botany Bay, even better when the sun is shining and spectacular sunsets. Great sized family rooms and spotlessly clean. Tea/coffee facilities including Nespresso machine. Not yet brought our dog but love the fact hotel does offer dog friendly rooms.

    The room was very nice and very well equipped. Sometimes noise from adjacent room and particularly loud noise from room above. One night we had to ask them about 10.30 pm if their children could stop their game which involved a lot of jumping off the beds as the noise was terrible. We like dogs and often used to take one to a hotel when we were travelling but there were too many especially outside where fights were common. One customer arrived with 5 dogs.

    Very helpful staff. Lovely location near beach. Good breakfast and always excellent service.

    Nothing major. Would have liked my bacon to have been well done as requested on both days but not a real problem. Some way of fresh milk to have been in the room without having to request it would have been nice coz I didn't bother and so didn't use the coffee machine!

    So much better than the last few times that I had stayed. Staff were really good, the food was excellent and my room was amazing, not cheap for a single person ! but well worth the money.
