Great place to stay

The place is quiet and clean. I love the extras at the dining room and bathroom condiments. Close to trams, shops. The kitchen could be improvised with dishcloth or scourer, better cooking equipment and decent knife. The location is ideal for public transportation and shops.

The faucet had broken off from the sink, so it wobbled and you couldn't turn on/off the faucet without two hands, and it never pointed where it was supposed to. The ceiling in the bathroom was covered in mold. There were two sets of roller blinds, but the outer one was just ... missing the actual fabric blind part. This was fine for a few nights, but it's far more budget hotel than it would have seemed.

Ideal Place to stay.

Was a great stay here, clean, friendly staff and very central to transport, eateries and other amenities. I enjoyed it as it was a short walk to the Southern Cross Station, the ability to jump on a tram and move around the city was also a bonus. Highly recommend staying here!
