Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Arrange parking in advance through the partner NCP car park at Castle Terrace to secure a space near the property.

  • 02

    Request a room away from the main road at booking if you need absolute quiet, as some trams are audible from street-facing apartments.

  • 03

    Use the luggage storage at the office if you arrive before check-in or have time to explore after checkout.

  • 04

    Confirm the exact bed configuration (king or double) for your apartment before arrival if you have a preference.
