I had a quick overnight after 2 very long travel days without much sleep. I arrived in the CBD at 8am and was able to store my luggage in order to explore the city before check-in. I booked a private room to get some rest before travelling on and it was excellent. The bed was clean and comfy, and the window opened for fresh air. Although the room was right off the kitchen, it was quiet after 9pm and through the night. The location was fabulous, just a short walk to Cuba street and all the funky shops and cafes. I even walked to the harbour and to the Botanic gardens. I didn’t do any cooking, but I really appreciated the hot water on demand for my tea! The staff were great. The property and rooms are “well used” and could use some freshening up, but bathrooms were cleaned regularly. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you.

Great price for an easy stay. Lovely place the staffs are very friendly and all the guests are friendly and polite, the place is tidy and safe. We had the private ensuite room, small but offered everything we needed. It was a little bit noisy as the room is near laundry and kitchen but we were good sleepers so no border. Definitely recommend it.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The room was very small and stuffy, there was only space for the bunks and a shelving unit/cupboard which was broken so I was not able to secure my belongings. It was a little inconvenient with the stairs and the location of the amenities, but otherwise it was a nice place and certainly perfect for backpackers. The male who served me was very nice & friendly.
