City Limits is a great city fringe hotel option! It has been in the same location for many years, has fantastic friendly staff and a comfortable feel. Slightly less well appointed than the big hotels, but also less expensive!

This was my second stay here, and once again, it was a very pleasant experience. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, with friendly staff who were always happy to help. A nice perk was the no extra charge coffee machine in the guest lounge. Price-wise, rates can fluctuate depending on the season and local events, but anything under AUD 150 per night is very reasonable for what’s on offer here. Overall, I had no complaints and would definitely recommend it for a comfortable, hassle-free stay.

We stayed at City Limits for 4 days and would definitely recommend. The staff were always super lovely and greeted us every time we left or returned. It is in the perfect location for both expensive and cheap eats. The street noise at some points of the stay was noticeable, mostly surrounding restaurants throwing glass in their recycling bins or car horns, but we were aware of this from other reviews prior to booking. Easy to get everywhere needed. For the price, it can’t be beat!

I stayed in a King Studio. I was really impressed with the staff, who are cheerful, helpful and go out of their way to help. The room is large for the price and well equipped with a kitchenette, dining bench and desk, as well as the usual bed, TV and bathroom. The room was comfortable and quiet and everything worked. The location is great, near restaurants, trams and trains. I would definitely stay again and have already recommended it to friends.

Exceptional value for money here - everything was better than expected. Fantastic location! Right near some excellent restaurants and bars. My ONLY complaint was the bright, flashing light on the TV when it was off. It would have been nice to be able to unplug it but I couldn't get to the plug so I threw a couple of towels over the whole thing, lol. So great otherwise; would definitely stay there again.

The staff where very responsive and the price and size of the room are great for the location. The apartments might be considered dated by todays standards but they have everything you need, bar proper heating. My only gripe would be somehow the half day / late check out is the same as a full overnight price.
