The hotel is very clean and newly painted (just new carpets needed to complete the upgrade). Location couldn't be better as just a short walk to the free tram area and right on the edge of the city. The bed was comfortable, jug with tea, coffee and milk in room also. Breakfast was available at $6each but we didn't use this. It had the quietest air conditioner I've ever experienced. Staff were helpful.

Close enough to the city but allowing for some exercise to walk to cafes, restaurants and shopping areas to walk off the wonderful food that is available. Safe area to walk around even at night and convenient to main transport links.

Jane, New Zealand

Good sized room, comfy bed. Good location to access CBD.

Jacqueline, United Kingdom

I took the room with the shared bathroom. Small room but ok for a night's stay. Bathroom was clean. Floorboards are a little creaky yes. They seem to have just renovated the place recently and the lobby looks new. Friendly and helpful reception staff downstairs. Good location near Sothern Cross station. Not much noise from the streets (got the room facing Kings Street) but yes you can hear people at night in the corridor going in and out of their rooms and talking. Wasn't too much bothered about that. They provided a good selection of tea and coffee in the room. Room had all the amenities I wanted.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“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”

눉The room was not always cleaned by the time we came back early afternoon but appreciate that we were not the only people staying in the hotel. Would have liked the towels to be changed at least then the rest of the room could have been done later.

눉No shower or toilet in the rooms. (I was worried about catching Tinea from the shared shower). Shower was probably clean enough, but how can i know? Maybe the Hotel should provide plastic slippers to wear in the shower which can be disinfected after each guest. Too much noise from the street, they need double-paned windows.
눇Good sized room, comfy bed. Good location to access CBD.
