My wife and I stayed at Punthill Little Bourke some years ago and loved it. Sadly, my recent stay was a disappointment. The facility is very much showing its age, even though we were told we'd been given 'renovated' rooms. I was a bit embarrassed to have brought friends from overseas to stay there. My friends and I were particularly unhappy about the various unpleasant smells in public areas and in the rooms: A combination of very strongly perfumed/scented cleaner, combined with musty stale air. Even with the windows open for hours, it would not go away. There was even some graffiti in my friends' room!
The hotel is in an excellent location, seconds away from loads of restaurants and convenient to most places in the CBD. I hope it can be returned to its earlier condition.
