The hotel was rather faded but accomodation was clean, staff were friendly and price was excellent. thank you
kathy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean. Friendly staff. In urgent need of modernization, or tidied up. Has potential. But for the price it's reasonable value.
Nagashen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a great overnight stay. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were soft and clean. The pillows were just right! The building and the street outside were quiet. The windows opened to let in fresh air. The building is very old and you can sense that with the attention now, it will regain its glory and again be a great place to stay. Overall a good stay - not high end but the staff and good sleep made it great.
Debrah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This place was nice enough. Room was quiet and clean and a good place to stop off for the night. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a communal kitchen area that had seen better days but was clear the staff were trying to make the place better through renovations. Parking across the street was fantastic. Good place to stay on a budget.

Very reasonable cost for a comfortable stay, but may not suit others used to luxury accommodation. Would be great to see the hotel restored to former glory.

Building just a little run down, we had curtains that didnt fit the windows and broken windows just taped up with masking tape and paint peeling off the surfaces. Bed was comfortable and clean and tidy
chris, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

For the price, it was decent... but if you ignore the unkept outside, ripped curtains on the right of the entry, ripped carpet on the stairs...the room was really clean! The shower was on another level old and dirty. There was, we assumed, full time residents staying there. On the corner of a main road, it was noisy and with no air conditioning, we had to have windows open.One 'share' kitchen was old and dirty with a bar fridge full of others things. It should be advertised as a 'back packers' accommodation. Cheap but not real cheerful!
Robyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We didn’t have a fridge in our room however the manager offered us a room with a fridge in it. It was very nice and thoughtful of him for the offer but we were happy with the room we had. He offered a great Service!
Ellen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pretty nice overall. Lovely front desk guy, felt safe at the hotel. Just had trouble with being able to lock our door which was a little scary.
Milo, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room we had was very nice especially for the price, it’s mostly the decoration from outside but for a night or two it’s absolutely fine! Only problem we had : no power on the plug to be able to charge our phones for all the night. Otherwise, the staff is super nice and welcoming I really appreciate it!

Large spacious room. TV didnt work. Not enough pillows.
DEBORAH, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This property was clean and had everything I could need, behind a locked door. The only problem with it was I felt like I was in a resident evil movie. Would I stay again ? Yes I would
kelly, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Windows tied to radiator to keep them closed. No hot water for showering. Staff not prepared to compensate for lack of hot water and just seemed to not care.
Corina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I strongly recommend reading the properties website before booking - they are awesome and very accurate in their description of what the property is and isn't. We stayed for 3 nights over long weekend - arriving after 3am in morning (pre arranged). The property was super helpful and flexible and made the process of getting into our room at that time simple and easy. Apart from a quick, friendly conversation on the first morning with one of the cleaners we actually had no face to face interactions with the team over the whole stay - including checking out on the final day. If you want a quiet, basic room at a great price - this is a great option. If you want heaps of extras, a 5 star experience from staff or the latest mod cons - you probably need to look elsewhere. I would definitely stay here again if in similar circumstances.

It was a grand old lady in its day and is now being restored. Clean and tidy. Shower had good pressure. Walking distance shops.
