Great value
A nice stay close to everything and still quiet. The pool is small, but fine. The gym almost with no equipment. The breakfast is mainly toasted bread with jam and a basic yoghurt + juice and coffee.
But the beds were nice, everything clean and the service good. So for the price we felt we got a good deal and can recommend as a great base to explore NT from.

Quiet neighborhood hotel
Comfortable and quiet, in a location close to restaurants, grocery stores and shops. We found the area around the hotel to be a little run down, but still safe to walk.

We enjoyed our stay at The Argus. Location was within reasonable walking distance (about 15-20 minutes) of the city centre and some great eateries. Continental breakfast provisions were great. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

On my first night, there was a fire evacuation emergency. It was about 11.30 pm.
I started to prepare to evacuate as the alarm continued. I thought about staying out on the balcony as I was on the sixth floor. Decided to head down the fire escape after seeing so many people outside anxiously waiting news from the fire brigade who had just arrived. No fire. All clear given to return to hotel.
