The location was great, walking distance to a lot of things. The staff were generally pretty friendly and the facilities were ok. The room was very underwhelming, comfortable enough but the bathroom walls were just unsealed frosted glass, you could hear and just about see everything that went on in there. The hotel also took a $50 deposit on check in which was not mentioned in the welcome message prior. I didnt get this back when I checked out, the receptionist said it could take up to 5 business days. People need to be forewarned about this, to some $50 isnt much but to others it could be. Also, considering one standard room had already cost us $344 for one night, I dont see why we needed to pay an extra $50 deposit. While I'm aware most hotels do this in some form, usually I just have to provide a card to have on file not actually take money I have to wait to get back. I wont be staying here again.

The hotel is in a convenient location - right opposite the Langham Hotel. One street back from Southbank. It’s a popular and big hotel. No pool. The check-in experience was very ordinary. It’s not great to have their office at the check-in reception. It made it seem there were 3 staff available but only 1 doing the check-in with a long line waiting. We waited 20 minutes. People were also no happy as one of the three lifts was faulty with the room key without any signage explaining how to work the temperamental sensor. The decor was modern. The room was quite nice. Huge comfortable bed. Breakfast was ordinary and felt a bit like feeding at a cafeteria. Cutlery & food items were running out and not replaced soon enough.

For the price we got this for it was excellent. Well presented room, clean and new bathroom. Comfortable beds and great block out blinds. Well located about 5 minutes from southbank. Free breakfast was OK too. A bit busy and hard to find a seat but we'll worth it if you are after an eat and go hotel.

Came to meet my friend at Holiday Inn and started my day with a lovely coffee. I requested my name on the cup, and Sahana made it perfectly! She was amazing and so friendly. Will definitely book a stay next time!
