“Comfortable & clean with a great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

My room was in the front block facing Queens Parade and was very comfortable and clean. The bath would be a little tricky for the elderly or immobile to get in, but the bathroom facilities were great. Also, if you are unused to the white noise of constant traffic outside, you may have a little trouble sleeping. A note about... More

“A solid 3+ star experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2013

Some of the reviews on here are clueless. Yes it's a little isolated, if your definition of isolated is needing to take a 8 minute tram ride into the city. I found the service polite, helpful and 24/7. The facility, whilst obvious an older building, has been nicely renovated & the rooms basic but quite functional. For such a well... More

“Is it a hostel or a hotel?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2013

If this were classified as a hostel for backpackers then it would be five-star. If it were a hotel, however, it would have some surprising weaknesses. The building seems like an old 1960s office block, with wind-swept open concrete stairwells at the back, but it has been done up rather well, with a startling lime green arch across the front...

“OK hotel but middle of nowhere”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2013 via mobile

I can't complain about the service or the actual hotel itself - just hated the location. Was there on business and at the end of a long day felt quite stranded - feels like a long walk to anything - no nearby restaurants etc - maybe if you had a hire care etc then worth it. Certainly quiet as its... More

We were disappointed from the very start. We arrived late at night ready to get to our room and the front desk girl was unprofessional. Our keycard didn't work and it took 20 min back and forth for her to come up to open the door. She used the main key to open up but we still didn't have a... More

We stayed there 3 nights. The room was clean and nice. The only problem was that we couldn't close entirely the blinds and the lights entered the room in the early morning. The swimming pool is great as it is quite big. We had a car and paid 10$ a day to park the car. The location is good, a... More
