Cosy and comfortable stay in great part of town..
City Tempo was a nice stay, is peaceful there although I've stated there before and the room I chose this time was substantially smaller than the last in I was in which was still okay as was cost. Decor a little dated but was still working well when all factorscinsidered. Tha place was really clean on arrival and s in a busy but still great part of town with Flagstaff gardens ablock away, a Woolies directly opposite with an abundance of food options everywhere near by and the Vic market a block or so away as well..
I would probably rate this a 3.5 stars. It was a pretty nice comfy property, great location, mostly clean and I received a nice welcome upon my arrival. Not really sure if I would return though but it wasn’t too terrible.
Cons / Room for Improvement:
- the hallway out of the lift on level 7 was pretty stinky for some reason. It was not really pleasant to return to but at least the smell doesn’t seep into the room itself. The room itself was fine.
- one of the provided towels in the bathroom had a weird yellow stain on it so I didn’t use it after I noticed that.
- following on from this, just feeling a bit questionable on the cleanliness, not sure about the bed but I woke up feeling itchy and uncomfortable about if it was due to the bedsheets…
- I was advised via Expedia messages that I would receive instructions 24 hours prior about meeting the owner to pick up the keys upon arrival but I hadn’t received any information so I had to reach out to them to obtain the meeting details. Luckily they replied promptly but next time could be a bit more organised.
Thank you for the stay.
