What recent reviews say

Ninety draws repeat visitors and walk-in diners for its coffee, breakfast, and desserts in a relaxed, welcoming space. Harrison and staff build loyalty through genuine hospitality. Some guests find portions tight and pricing steep; food quality dips below the café standard at brunch.

Most reviewers come for the café experience rather than overnight stays. Pesto Prawn Toast, rose lattes, and burnt cheesecake with truffle are highlights. The terrace hosts evening matcha and mochi pop-ups. Guests praise the clean rooms and local knowledge from the team.
