A smooth, no-fuss, supportive experience- from booking to the event. A hidden gem in the best part of the city. Although a little difficult to find (the building), the experience of booking the meeting room for the event couldn't be any better. Prompt response, very supportive staff, great AV induction (they go the extra mile). Would book again for future events.
Everything was great. The meeting room was clean, with good access, and no fuss. Only that there was no air conditioning, which put the attendees and myself in a little discomfort.

The team at the Ross House was very helpful in helping us finding fans for the room.
The room we booked on level 3 does not have aircon.
