Fabulous hotel in a wonderful location.

Excellent location. Super clean room and complex. Comfortable bed. Fabulous breakfast, and amazing staff.

A lot of street noise especially from the main highway. Ear plugs beside our bed didn’t help, sadly.

9.0

Great location, we walked everywhere. Parking near the hotel is free after 4pm till 9.30am the next day. We chose to check in then park the car a block away where parking was free.

We were way on a girls weekend. Although the glass in the bathroom was opaque it faced the bed. So it felt a little odd at times.

Quirky hotel close to shops and restaurants, with clean comfortable rooms.

8.0

Poshtel was a quirky hotel with interesting memorabilia and themed rooms. Breakfast provisions were good too though it was only continental. Within walking distance to shops and restaurants.

It was noisy in the mornings as our room was right next to the Woolworths loading bay. There was no off street parking and bathrooms were a little too small.
