Loved by The Ultimo Hotel guests
"We stayed two nights as a family of four, the family rooms are a great option with separate beds for the children."
"The room was really clean and we had a balcony for our dog which was a perfect size."
"Our recent stay at this hotel was a pleasant surprise; we booked a room for three adults and were delighted to find that the room had almost two separate sections, thanks to a mezzanine format."

The location felt very central. i found chinatown just a short walk away, it was dreamy. the laundromat in the hotel was also very convenient for me. I loved this.
the noise at NIGHT was a lot. partying seemed to continue outside until morning, very loud. the room felt small and it was hard to move around freely. the lobby is a little old and it didn't seem attractive.
