Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room, given the reasonable price. Cheap, clean, functional, and centrally located. Really comfortable bed! Happy to return.

Milli, Australia

The room was great for my needs and Hotel was so close to the train station, tram stops and bus stops. Hotel had a bar area downstairs that allowed a rest area for a light refreshment or snack before going back to room if wished.

Maria, Australia

Cheap and clean. Good value for money.The bed was very comfortable, and an extra blanket was provided. Very clean. It is very central and you can easily walk to train station, even when carrying suitcases.

Silvia, Australia

Location good, close to southern cross station. Good bed and shower. Friendly staff. All the basics.

Jolon, Australia

The hotel is very conveniently located close to the Sharing cross station and in walking distance to the city center. My room was spacious with a huge bathroom and tea/coffee amenities. Very clean, except the carpet, that looks kind of used. Bed was ok.

The bed was comfy, and we were upgraded to a better room.

“Super good value for money. Perfect location.”

Lauren

Australia

“Value for money. Not great. But I wanted basic accommodation. In the city. Near Transport and food. Clean comfortable bed. Coffee machine in room. I had a room on the top. Third floor and wasn't worried by traffic noise. Breakfast started early which is important to me. Tv worked well. Internet was included but slow. Value for money”

눉Hotel was under some upgrading activities. Room allocated to us was beside a recently painted room and we were uncomfortable with the strong paint smell. Unfortunately the hotel was quite full and we were unable to change a room. Room floor was spotted with some paints and shower room is slippery without a floor mat or cloth .
