Studio Queen Room
Stayed 2 nights in July 2019

A most enjoyable 2 night stay”

We stayed 2 nights, Thurs and Fri night. Check in was easy with super friendly reception. We had booked a queen room. On entering the room which looked fine, we realised that the bed would not be big enough for us(it didn't look like a queen). A quick phone call ensued and straight away the very nice deputy manager moved us to another room with a king bed, getting a free upgrade! I couldn't thank them enough. The room was large, clean and had a great view. The location in Chinatown is amazing, close to everything. The price was also very reasonable at $125 a night. The only negative, which is very minor , was the smell of what I describe as Asian 2 minute noodles in the lobby.

The best of the best in Chinatown”

I stayed in their sister hotel, BreakFree on Clarence before I moved here which was in the centre of Chinatown. I searched for a great daily rate and when I found it, I booked immediately and stayed for 4 days. If you have the opportunity to search on-line for a low room rate, you will find it. Keep searching. For the price I paid it was one of the very best hotels I’ve stayed in. Everything you could want, you will receive here. I stayed in a Studio Queen room which was spacious and very well appointed. All staff members were great. Thank you for my great stay.

We arrived very early and front desk man was fantastic. We were going to drop luggage and return for check in later but he found us a apartment that was free . Staff went out of their way all of the time. Handy to markets and China town. Also light rail will be right outside when it's finished to bottom of George St. Other light rail right beside the hotel . Has a hotel/bar situated next door with special great meals.
