Enjoyed the convenient central location of the hotel, and our room was very well-appointed with everything we needed. The only downside was the lack of aircon/airflow on a hot night (open windows let in the street noise), and there also seemed to be some piping within the wall that meant we heard loud flushing water during the night which woke us a few times.

Handy location to shops and cafes and ten minute walk to Queens Park. Friendly, helpful staff, easy check-in . Roadworks nearby makes for dusty , noisy experience and difficult vehicle access at the moment.

Great location to the mainstreet. Within walking distance to all local amenities. Hotel staff had great vustomer services, everything well explained. The room was spacious and beds comfy, Seperate toilet was a little outdated looking but didnt affect function. I liked that this hotel had a water filter on our floor and a laundry room available which was such a bonus. I would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone stay here. It also had a restaurant and sports bar for those like me who stayed in. Thanks!

The staff were really nice. Restaurant great. That is where it ends. This is a 1960-70 ear no money spent in the rooms. I had a double bed that was I think 1970 smelly old duvets. No real heater in the room a little noisy panel thing that really down nothing. Cold shower crap pressure. I donā€™t call it a hotel. It is a back packers at best
