"Clean spacious rooms. Hot showers. Walkable to all parts of the city with plenty of cleaning and drinking places close by. We also walked to Allianz Stadium. The only downfall of the hotel was the wifi. Did not work most of the time. Ensure you have some sort of data otherwise you will be without internet"

"Great place to stay location and facility wise, Staff were friendly. Our apartment had mould issues in both bathrooms. There was also a grubby old smoke detector base in the hallway that looked gross. A downlight in the lounge in front of the tv needed patch and paint around it. Great hotel that needs more focus on cleaning and maintenance quality. Thanks"
