    The location is near bloody perfect. Light rail to the cbd or airport is one minute away, bus transport to districts further afield is five minutes walk away. The cbd is about a twenty minute walk away. All guests here are obviously on a limited budget, it's not like a backpackers just for young world travellers wanting to party. There are family groups with young children, older couples doing it cheap, the usual groups of vibrant girls or guys looking to save their money for a good time.

    The location was perfect; very clean rooms, with air conditioner. Parking was convenient, safer, and slightly cheaper than the nearby options. The beds were comfortable. They offered complimentary commodities we needed. Breakfast was nice on the first day but tiring to have for a week. They have a few microwavable food options, yoghurts, some fruits and waffles. Juices were too fake, but coffee was acceptable—an authentic yet affordable American Breakfast.
