good location, very cheap price to share with a group of mates on a cheap travel.

Namnee Australia

The lady at reception was very helpful and friendly. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The shower was large and the water pressure excellent. It was great to have coffee and tea making facilities. Though we didn't use public transport, there is a tram stop nearby and the railway station is not far away. There is a cafe for breakfast and lunch, 5 minutes walk away. The location was great for us as we were catching up with a friend who lived nearby.

Diane New Zealand

Easy able to arrange late arrival, clean rooms, great staff. Perfect for weary travellers.

    Asked about: Family Room
  • Hi! What is the earliest time we can check in to the hotel? Thanks

    Check in time is 2pm. However we try accommodate all guests requests for early check in. The answer is not straight forward for example if your allocated room has been checked out & cleaned you can check in when the cleaners have finished, this could be anytime from 10am. If your room hasn't be let out the night before you could check in as early as 8am. For best answer phone reception on the day before your booking to get a more accurate time. Generally earlier in the week we are able check guests in earlier. Kind regards
