Budget experience
It’s a budget hotel, so expect budget experiences. Really close to kings cross train station which made it easy to get to anywhere local and far. Lots of great dinning options.

Happy with what I paid for
The taxi driver had difficulty in finding the hotel, the location differed from the vehicle GPS. I walked back and eventuality found it via the main entrance
The staff member was very friendly and welcoming.
The room was clean for my liking, however some might say the walls could do with a wash down in parts. The bed was big and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and spacious.
The $12.00 breakfast was value for money.
It was far better than many other budget type accommodation.

The property was very well priced for a 3 night stay. We were welcomed on arrival. The room was simply furnished to meet our needs and requirements and was inviting. Even coathangers and very attractive hanging space was provided. Our room was serviced each morning. The morning breakfasts were excellent and very reasonably priced.
However it would have helped if the desk lamp had worked as I had to use a computer in the evening for my ECU work.
Thank you

Property was clean and although basic, had everything we required and expected of a budget hotel. There was quite a lot of noise in the night, not sure the source but was in the hotel itself. Guess to be expected in a city central location.

Good location but no hot water in the evening.
The hotel was in a very convenient location. The room was small but the bed was comfortable and it had the necessary amenities. the main downside was that there was no hot water on the Sat evening - i think this was because the hotel was very full but obviously the hot water system could not manage. it is not acceptable in a hotel to have a cold shower or no shower at the end of a long day. There was hot water in the morning.

The walls in my room were dirty. It looked like someone had shaken a can of soft drink and sprayed it on the wall and ceiling. The filters on the air conditioning unit were thick with grime and the mugs and spoons were dirty. Every time I left my room I had to get my key card reactivated at the front desk, luckily I was with another guest upon returning to the hotel as my card did not work.

Staff very kind and helpful, generous as well. Breakfast was cheap but so much variety and quantity! Room was cramped and hot, no way to heat or cool. Ok for an enroute overnight stay.
