6.6/10

The hotel offers fantastic views of the surrounding hills and is conveniently located near shops and the Skybus stop for easy airport access. However, the service was lacking and the facilities seemed outdated.

The hotel is situated in a downhill area, but it's convenient to walk to the nearby Skybus stop on Hobson Street for a $15 airport transfer. It's also close to shops, making it easy for shopping.
