Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered a mix of positives and negatives for my stay. The rooms were suitable in terms of bed size, but lacked the signature apple of Wanderers hotel, felt cramped, and didn't smell fresh. The temperature oscillated between hot and freezing throughout the night. However, the service was top-notch and accommodating, despite a slight hiccup with the booking process. The location was excellent, with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. Dining was a bit costly and lacked variety. Overall, a decent choice with room for improvement.
Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were just perfect for my husband and 18-month-old son, but we faced some issues with room allocation and maintenance. The service was a mix of friendliness and early wake-up calls. The location was ideal for our needs, close to business destinations and sporting venues, while the dining experience was one of the best we've had. Despite some shortcomings, we found value in the overall experience.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were immaculately clean, fresh-smelling, and the pillows were heavenly. The location was perfect, just a short stroll from Rosebank and Melrose Arch, offering convenience and a vibrant atmosphere. While the neighboring noise was quickly resolved by the attentive staff, the dining experience was a bit underwhelming despite the good breakfast inclusion. Overall, a great value for the money with top-notch service and a fabulous location.
