    I don't understand how this place gets a 3 star rating. The photos on the listing do not represent our experience at all. The entrance hall smelled of insecticide, and our floor stank of cigarettes though we were in a no-smoking room. The room was barely clean, with what looked like bloodstains on the carpet. The room was dark, and the furniture was chipped/peeling. The bathroom was the smallest I've ever been in, which was fine. What was nasty was that old fittings had not been removed, and the toilet brush was not in a holder, just leaning against the wall. On arrival for a 3 night stay we found 1 single teabag, and only enough milk for 1 cuppa each. We asked the cleaner for additional tea and milk, which he promised us and didn't deliver, so we went without for 2 days. We were required to pay a $100 deposit which was deducted straight away, and not reimbursed for nearly a week after we departed. I wouldn't stay here again.

    The location was great, close to public transport and the CBD. Staff were pleasant and efficient. We were able to get in to our room earlier than the checkin time, which was great. The bed was very comfortable.

    The very small rooms. And unbelievably small bathrooms. Elevator also didn't work.

    while some staff were outstanding, it was incredibly disappointing the way we were spoken to by another member of staff. The rooms and foyer are musty and there is a permeating scent of cigarettes throughout the premises. it is a property with levels so be aware you will need to walk some stairs (this is not a negative but an FYI if you have difficulty doing so). there needs to be clearer messaging about the deposit and that needs to be refunded immediately at departure.

    the location is convenient, based on the CBD and only a short walk from south bank and the mall. if you are comfortable with no frills then this is a suitable option to lay your head at the end of the day, the facilities are adequate however it has a backpacker vibe. it states clearly in their messaging the rooms are small (cosy) so expect this going in, I appreciate they do disclose this prior to arrival.

    The whole level smelt like tobacco smoke, The room was not clean, finding stains on the bed sheets and on the broken couch. We checked in late and found that they did not provide any toilet paper, so we had to go out to a convenience store at 1am in the morning. There was a constant loud hissing sound from the toilet. The photos on the listing do not reflect the actual room well.

    The location was very close to the cbd centre. Very convenient.
