Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This motel represents very good value for money. A big space at 44 sq metres and cheaper than smaller studio units at other motels in Fitzherbert Ave. Great location - just over the road from the Botanic gardens.

    Helpful staff and great location. gave us a late check out and stored out bags safely for us while we explored before our flight home. Easy walking distance to supermarkets, the main city square and all the restaurants. Great to have a spa bath to relax in and great that they think to give you bath gel to enjoy in the bath.

    The standard of cleanliness was exceptional. Warm and kind staff. They took care of all our safety re covid , mask wearing and prompted safe conduct when needed which I appreciated. I was able to park my car outside my window so I could keep an eye on my dog in the car. Great location . Nearby off leash areas for my dog. Also lovely and quiet . The unit felt private and restful decor . Reasonable price. Loved the prompts to think of the enviroment. Desk and chair provided which I found useful to work at.
