Ideal Place to stay.

Was a great stay here, clean, friendly staff and very central to transport, eateries and other amenities. I enjoyed it as it was a short walk to the Southern Cross Station, the ability to jump on a tram and move around the city was also a bonus. Highly recommend staying here!

This hotel needs the 4 star rating reviewed to align with the uncleanliness, old, dirty mouldy and unpleasant odour this accomodation experience provides for you. It’s not on my recommendation list.

Value for money, basic room with comfy bed and good shower. However there was noise from the trams outside and elevator next to the room was noisy. Was a little disturbed by lights flashing in the room during the night. At checkout, there was no one at the reception desk and I didn't initially find the express checkout box to place the room key. Have stayed here previously and would consider staying again.
