The amount of dust everywhere!! Mattress on bed has had one too many ppl sleep on & I’m so glad I’d brung my own pillow! Don’t believe the picture of what the rooms look like especially when you think you’re getting a “superior “ room! I’ve stayed here a few times & it wasn’t as bad as this.

As soon as I checked in I found out the bathroom faucet was loose. The wooden small door by the front door couldn’t lock. The room after the elevator floor has either go up or down 10 steps. It’s so inconvenient for people traveling with big suitcases.

The room made a great first impression—clean, tidy, and well-organised upon entry. Overall, it was comfortable, but there are a few areas that could be improved. The bathroom was generally fine, though it could benefit from some small repairs, a lid on the toilet seat, grout cleaned and replaced in the shower. The tea and coffee station could use a refresh as well; adding options like Milo or hot chocolate would be a thoughtful touch for guests who don’t drink tea or coffee, and a couple of complimentary water bottles would be appreciated. The biggest downside was the view, which was just a brick wall and a bit disappointing. The king beds were clean and comfortable, but it was clearly made up of two king singles that weren’t zipped together, so they separated quite easily. Overall, the stay was pleasant, but with a few updates, it could be much better. The staff were very friendly and helpful 👌

Good value for money for a hotel very close to Southern Cross Station, I paid a little extra for a premium room on top floor, a little more space and a good choice for me.

Staff friendly and helpful - gave me early entry to a room. Bed was comfy and the room was clean. Bathroom was a bit shabby and hot water not that hot (no need to use the cold tap at all) but otherwise fine. Good location near Southern Cross station if catching or arriving by train.
