We enjoyed the location here and the staff were friendly. However we stayed a Saturday night and the music from the rooftop bar was pretty loud in our room until after 1am. We were on the 5th floor. Sunday night didnt hear anything so pick your days to stay!

Nice place to stay, it used to be nice though. Over the last few years it has become increasingly more broken feeling with unpainted areas in the room corners, broken curtain rails, cement dust piles, broken runner for the bathroom door, things like that. There was also no included parking option in December 2024 despite the website and Expedia saying there was. Its a good enough place though, walking distance to pretty much everything in the CBD, small fridge in the room, and comfy bed, but overpriced, because of the things above, despite the attraction of the art in the hallways.

Property, room and location were great. The loud music until 1am was not. The whole room was shaking and I wasn’t unable to sleep. I think this is Fridays and Saturdays nights only

Loved out city stay at The Muse - lovely corner room on a high floor with views over the new stadium. Charles on front desk was an outstanding host. The Pink Lady was average staff not very welcoming which we have encountered before - all in all a lovely option if you like quirky boutique hotels which we do.

The room was comfortable and well appointed, the ongoing construction right beside the hotel was a significat distraction, it affected the view from our window. On the positive note, location is excellent with easy access to the nearby malls. If the construction is not a concern this hotel is a good option.

I booked a twin room and was given a king, it was late and we were tired so it wasn't worth going back down to see if we could move rooms so we made it work. The room was well appointed and clean. We were directly under the bar/restaurant and it was quiet in our room which was a blessing, though the construction next door started up about 0630.
