Good value for money
Good value for money. Large room with kitchenette. Didn’t use the pool but looked okay. Student accommodation on the lower floors but holiday time so very quiet. Good location to get around the city. Great lounge area on 52 floor.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very comfortable and staff were friendly. Within a few minutes walk from trams and trains and there's a service for pickup from the airport if needed. Room had all the essentials, though having a microwave and a safe would've made it perfect for me. The view for my room was facing towards the east and was one of my favourites from the handful of hotels I've been to. Overall I had an excellent experience, and will definitely consider booking again!

Comfortable modern apartment. Lights, airconditioning & blinds controls are on a touch panel by the door (and on the bedhead). Curiously, there was an oven & stovetop (also touch controlled - but there was no instruction manual - so lots of Googling & guesswork) but there was “no microwave” which would have been more useful. Floors 1-40 are Student accommodation. Floors 41-50 are Hotel accommodation. Pay Parking Station is across the road. Request a discount parking ticket from hotel reception. Overall, satisfied & would stay again.

The hotel was lovely. The bed was like a block of concrete. Would not stay here again as we slept on the couch which was too small. It’s a shame because it looks great. Cleaning staff never came back to the room for service either.

Could be a whole lot better... & I ain't no snob.
Booking for a wedding anniversary & as a Hotels.com Gold "VIP Access" customer, I expected a whole lot more from Scape Living at Franklin. As part of the Gold access we were supposed to receive a "Free bottle of wine per stay" & "Free room upgrade when available". We got neither. This along with the fact that the air conditioning in our room was not working properly (admittedly it was a hot couple of days, but if you can't open a window in the room, you at least expect to be able to sleep comfortably at night with air conditioning that works). On our second day, we were moved to another room (as I mentioned that the air con didn't work in our current room) & it wasn't much better. So much so, that we decided to simply go home instead of stay our second night. Overall the rooms were nice, a decent size & comfortable, but the lack of air con (& expected VIP extras) made for a pretty disappointing stay... & subsequently a pretty average kind of wedding anniversary weekend away. With a bit of care & attention, this place could be a great inner city stay. But as it is, it leaves a bit to be desired.
