Heart of City – Pool – Parking – Self check-in

Heart of City – Pool – Parking – Self check-in Overview

Honestly, when I first saw the name Heart of City – Pool – Parking – Self check-in, I thought it was a bit much – I mean, they’re literally telling you everything upfront in the title. But you know what? After staying there, I actually appreciate the transparency because they deliver on every single promise.

The self check-in thing had me a little nervous at first (I’m one of those people who likes talking to actual humans when something goes wrong), but it’s surprisingly smooth. You get your codes sent to your phone, and honestly, it’s kind of nice not having to make small talk when you roll in late after a long travel day. The parking situation is what really sold me though – and I can’t stress this enough if you’re driving in the city. Finding a spot around there normally is like winning the lottery, but having your own guaranteed space? That’s worth its weight in gold. I’ve stayed at places where I spent more on parking fees than I did on the actual room.

The pool is definitely the star of the show here, and it’s not your typical tiny hotel afterthought either. It’s actually sized for proper swimming, not just Instagram photos. I found myself using it way more than I expected – there’s something about having a good swim after walking around the city all day that just hits different. The area around it is well-maintained too, with decent seating and it doesn’t feel cramped even when other guests are there. What surprised me most was how quiet it stays; you’d think being in the heart of everything would mean constant noise, but they’ve somehow managed to create this little oasis feeling. The whole property has this relaxed vibe that makes you forget you’re right in the middle of all the action – you can literally walk to most of the main attractions, but when you come back, it feels like stepping into your own private retreat. With that 9.1 rating from other travelers, I’m clearly not the only one who thinks they’ve got something special going on here.

• It was wonderful to have space to ‘be’ as opposed to just a hotel room. It really felt like home and everything was sooo – Natalie from Australia – 29 November 2024 (10/10)

  This place has honestly exceeded my expectations! Everything was very thoughtful. The linen and towels were so luxurious and there was ample cupboard space for all my items to be packed away so I wasn’t reminded I will be leaving in a few days lol. Everything was comfortable and I was very excited to see some spices in the kitchen when I was cooking which saved me having to buy some. And omg the Dyson hair dryer! Love that! Thank you for having me – such a great spot and so close to cafes and shops I was in heaven!
