Sunshine Tower Hotel

Mixed Experience – Great Location, Poor Internet & Breakfast Setup The hotel is in a great location, and the room itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Facilities like the car park and lifts were well maintained and met expectations. However, as business travellers, the internet connection was a major letdown. The hotel appears to rely on a hotspot system, which was extremely unreliable—slow speeds and constant disconnections all weekend. Streaming services such as Netflix were unusable, and even basic browsing was frustrating. To make matters worse, the remote control had nearly dead batteries and worked intermittently. We were also disappointed with the rest and breakfast experience. After early starts each day, we were hoping for some quiet downtime in the afternoon, but this was hard to enjoy given the other issues. The weekend breakfast arrangement felt misleading. Instead of onsite breakfast, we received a $20 per person voucher to a nearby café. While the café was pleasant, it only opened at 7:30 am on weekends—not ideal when you're starting work at 6:30–7:00 am. And realistically, $20 doesn’t go far at most cafés these days, so it felt like a cost-cutting workaround rather than a genuine breakfast offering. On a positive note, Clara at reception on Saturday was professional and kind—she did her best to assist, though unfortunately there wasn’t much she could do. It seemed like her manager may have been present but avoided getting involved, which was disappointing given the situation.

The hotel staff are nice and friendly. Even i accidentally set off the smoke alarm causing half of the residents evacuated, they did not complain a single word.

Bad overall experience, no WiFi for 4 days, barely any housekeeping, broken curtains and light seeping in through the room on your face right from 6 am in the morning forcing you out of sleep. Many better hotels available at much better rate right next to the esplanade. Book those.  Really bad experience for the rate charged by the hotel.  P.S - The buffer breakfast (prepaid) was really bad with hardly any options and all decent options including coffee were for extra charge.

There was an obvious and large stain on my bedsheet when I checked in the first day. I wonder if the house keeper had it changed. At one late night, there was a false alarm going off. Many customers gathered at the lobby for 15 minutes. Finally, a staff just told us the fact without any apologies. What a poor quality hotel it is. Last but not least, over the 4 night stay, the wifi in my room was not working. No remedy was offered. It was blamed on the cyclone, but the wifi in the lobby was normal .

The unit had a range hood but no range The power points were placed where a contortionist skills were required to access Although there was sufficient space for a full sized fridge, there was only a bar fridge with a broken rack in the bottom. Lost a full bottle of wine when it dropped out and hit the floor The bathroom was tired and the paint was peeling There was signs of water damage along the skirting boards The one PowerPoint that could be seen and accessed had no face plate and appeared burnt out, it didn’t work The reception staff were very helpful and gave us an extension cord for my husband’s CPAP machine but that was unsafe as it trailed across the room Finally we were shown where the power points were located. The most ridiculous design I have ever seen over several years of travel. Under the fixed side tables and unable to be accessed!!! Both remotes were held together with gaffer tape. There were no bedside lamps. The door lock was cheap and could easily have been broken into. All in all not my best experience but the reception staff deserve a star for their helpfulness. Would not recommend this hotel.

Good shower head. May have loud neighbours in rooms on fri night.
