Phillip, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was nice, clean, decent size room. On King Street but not rowdy or unsafe.
Lizzie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Would highly recommend

Great location, used offsite parking within 700 meters, had to park a campervan $10.00/day (weekend rates). Walking distance to water front and Queen Victoria Market plus good area for eating options.
ALLAN, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

They canceled my reservation
Luc, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Second time I stayed in 12 months. This stay I noticed the toilet was leaking/running noisily from instant I walked in. Every time going to tell Reception there was no one there. General upkeep of maintainence would go a long way.
kylie, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

No one told us that the bar wasn’t operating when we booked

2/10 Poor

Not good customer service and noisy and old. Never again
Noriko, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel i have ever stayed at. The hotel is under renovation, which was not mentioned on their website. No elevator, no restaurant, and no staff. Our holiday was cut short because all the staff had covid. Plus there was mould in the fridge.
Daryl, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Affordable and good location for walking distance to shops, tram, train and bus. Very cozy room and not well thought out design of bathroom as very tight. Needs a bit of love and quite noisy outside. No great natural light you’d think it was 7pm at all times. Would I stay again? No. Did it serve as a cheap, convenient stay at the time? Yes. If you’re considering skimping on accomodation but like the finer things, definitely pay that bit extra for nicer place. Bed was really comfy and good size though!
devon, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

When at the front desk, I was asked to pay deposit above the cost of the room. Another guest mentioned that other guests had to come back to try and get their deposits back. They wouldn't let me use my room I paid for in advance even though they had my card without paying excessive deposit. When I looked at Facebook, it appears that this issue of not refunding deposits in a habit with the hotel. I was unable to get through on the phone on either number to have my room charge refunded as I refused to stay there and pay an excessive deposit and they wrote in writing that they would refund the amount. 1 week later and there is still no refund.
Venetia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

One night stay

Nice little room, bond was quite expensive for what it was and was told that we were going to have the bind back in the account however waited two weeks and still have not received. During this time I have called and was told it would be sent and I would receive an email and the phone hung up. Quite disappointing as it was quite an expensive night. Staff were quite nice and room was near and tidy.

Simone, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room i had was very small. I was by myself but if i had someone else it would of been squashy as there was no where to put cases. Reciption service was pooŕ. On arrival i got there around 1.30 and had to ring a bell twice, than told to wait in waiting area til 2pm..other accommodation places can usally check in before 2pm..than just on 2pm other customers come in off street and were served first, me and 3 other people waiting in lounge room got served later. Than on departure no one was at front desk, me and another lady both waiting and ringing bell for service. I was going to buy breakfast at the hotel, but gave up waiting and left so did the other lady..that was around 8am.
Nicole, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Location was probably really the only good thing i found while stayimg here, staff were non-existent
Aaron, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Lack of information provided at check in, especially about after hours access. The room was tiny and needs work/ updating. Took almost a week to get back the $150 just in case fee, more than the room cost. Called and asked for late check out, was told 11am was fine. When I checked in, again I said I need late check out at 11am. Someone came to the room just after 10am asking if I was checking out now or if I was a late check out. Then the cleaner entered the room without knocking or announcing themselves about 10.45am luckily I was just about to leave the room. Served its purpose but wouldn’t stay again.
Toni, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a good experience to stay here. The room is spacious enough and clean. The equipment in the room is convenient.
