    Car park was close by. Walking distance to everything in Surfers. Good to have a drink downstairs.

    Great location, friendly service, pizza at the bar downstairs was fantastic as well! If you're visiting surfers paradise it's a great central spot with tram near by and a lot near by.
  • Sean

    Nice decor and a comfortable bed. The room was pretty quiet and cozy, all the more impressive given the hotel’s location by a busy intersection. I would stay again there. And the rain shower in the bathroom was a big plus. Overall good design.

    The staff were fabulous, so was the location, I booked 615pm for that night and requested a sea view room when booking a normal room and got a sea view! Very happy! Plus the booking.com price was lots cheaper than any other website, $145/night!
