This hotel is not fresh and new but it is clean and located next to two tram lines. Also well located centrally in the inner eastern suburbs. Reasonable rates so good value.

For a short stay it's perfectly acceptable..Bed is comfortable, TV works and the shower is good..A bit old and tired looking and the outside light was shining through the window all night but for convenience of location for a short stay, I would definitely stay there again.
