Nothing fancy just a very comfortable and functional place if you’re in town for a longer stay. Excellent Thai restaurant in the lobby. Taringa is a good little neighbourhood. The metro stop is right behind the hotel - you can get downtown in 10 minutes. Note: building is shared by doctor’s offices. Apartment style hotel rooms are on the floors above.

An exceptional hotel. Hopefully the cafe attached (which is not owned by the hotel) can soon return to opening for breakfast reliably 7 mornings a week. The hotel itself is all round excellent.
