Ok for a quick overnight pittstop
The Muse Hotel is okay. Just…. ok. Fitout is cheap, trying to look funky and designer and luxe but sadly failing. One of those places that looks fairly swish when it’s brand spanking new but really doesn’t last. Think: when Kmart rips off a designer product - it looks the part, sort of, but isn’t really. Or your mate who brings back ‘Gucci’ from Thailand - they think it makes them look like a serious contender, but those in the know can spot it from a mile off. Front desk staff lacklustre at best. The huge positive however is its great central location which is super handy. Also bumped into cleaning staff in the elevator twice in my short stay and they were super polite and friendly. In short: for a quick overnight stay where you’re out more than you’re in, it’s fine - and you could definitely do a lot worse. Not bad, but not great - just… ok. But if you’re looking for somewhere special or with staff who truly love the industry, it’s not the place. Bit of a shame really as I can see where they were trying to go… but they just haven’t executed it well enough.

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.

Quirky place. Comfortable enough. Small room. Shower pressure low and right next to building site. But overall a cool wee place. Lovely bar and staff upstairs as well as cafe and staff downstairs.

All the staff are brilliant, friendly and courteous. We were disappointed with the room, for a premium king, the room was small with very little storage for two people's clothes. Whilst the room was clean, it appeared 'tired' and needed some TLC. We had to request bathrobes and ask them to hang part of the curtain that was hanging off. Great location and fabulous staff.

Great location with an amazing rooftop bar. Comfortable bed, plush furniture, surprisingly quiet, felt the reception staff could have been more helpful and friendly, parking price reasonable, loved the art deco and NY vibe. Celebrated hubby's birthday which I advised in advance but hotel didn't make any efforts like other hotels have in the past, small touches would bring the hotel to the next level. Would be nice to gain prefered access to The Pink Lady. We loved our stay though and would stay again.

The staff were very friendly. The room was clean and looked just as advertised in the pictures. The thermostat worked fine, so room temperature regulation wasn't an issue. Also, I didn't hear any construction noises, like some of the reviews mentioned. Overall, a very good experience! The only area of improvement for the hotel is the water pressure and temperature. It was fine for me, but my partner prefers it a bit hotter. We were looking forward to using the rain shower, but due to the lack of water pressure and temperature, it was quite an underwhelming experience. With that said, I'll happily book a room in the Muse Hotel again.
