Clean room, not too bad. Was a couple cockroaches in the bathroom and there was an aircon directly outside one of my windows which never stopped making a loudish noise which made it hard to sleep though

The bed was comfy and room was clean, the staff were friendly and helped store bags pre check in and post check out. It's a cheap inner city place so didn't expect much and while climbing two flights of stairs with my bags was hard I could tell the others checking in hated it so much more.

Amazing hotel and central to the shopping area. Rooms were clean and cosy. Toilets are spotless and love the stay here. Only negative is that there is no lifts so you will need to carry your bag up the stairs

6/10 Good

Check-in was dependent on how busy staff were and we had to wait a further hour and a half after the stated time. Very conveniently located in the CBD, basic but comfortable pub-style accommodation and surprisingly quiet considering it's central hub location

8/10 Very good

Great staff & location. Easy to get transport, nightlife & food. Old trendy pub, tidy and clean rooms. But my only negative would be that it has a weird smell coming from bathroom, which it could be due to that fact that the shower properly needs a shower curtin-The water from shower floods the bathroom & wets the carpet near bathroom. (or it might be the drains)
