Pretty cheap for the location, no problem sorting us out with a room at the last minute. Room was clean and comfy, had TV, coffee making etc. Very central location.

We got this hotel on a deal from wotif, which made it pretty good value. Nice spa/pool/sym area. Staff were great, especially the concierge.

Pretty standard place doing the Taiwanese ice desserts and milk tea, but what set this place apart was the mango supreme desert, great to share for two people.

Had a delicious da pang ji - big plate of chicken - which was cooked beautifully, with hand made noodles. Pretty good value and excellent service. The small dish was more than enough for two people.

Specialises in dishes from the north of China. Really delicious, although slightly rich at times. Good fast service and quick refils on the tea.

Delicious cheap Chinese food, in one of the alleys off Little Bourke Street. Great dumplings and an amazing selection of hotpots that I intend to work my way through.

Basic ambience in order to not detract from the amazing dumplings, xiaolongbao, tasty, authentic, quick and functional service. I cannot get enough of them.

I used BRE to manage my rental property, and subsequently sell it. They have a very professional appearance, and I found that the agents both worked hard to sell/rent my property. They weren't wonderful at replying to emails, a phone call worked best.

Very trendy venue with excellent waiting staff. Exciting menu with a mix of Asian food. Some of the food was unpleasantly salty, but the rest was delicious.

Pretty decent Mexican food, all the usual dishes and a good selection of drinks. Not as spicy as I like but easily fixed with some jalapenos.
