We booked this place because it was cheap, so our expectations were set appropriately low — and we’re pleased to report they were met perfectly. The building has plenty of “character” (read: run down), and the noise levels meant you were never alone with your thoughts. If you’re after luxury, keep scrolling. If you want an affordable stay that delivers exactly what you pay for, this is absolutely it.

Staff was really helpful and nice. Area is central so a bit noisy and not very nice. Rooms are big, reasonable price but old and not well kept. There was a whole on the ceiling and mould in the bathroom, so probably not for a long stay.

Older hotel but clean and tidy. Our room was on the 2nd floor facing the road. A little noisy on Saturday until about 2am. Our next stay we will get a room facing Collinwood St. Room was very large with a double and single comfortable bed. Bathroom was alittle dated but clean and functional

The staff member that greeted us on arrival was rather abrupt and unfriendly. The room was good. There was a note in the bathroom about it being slippery and we were very careful but I think providing a mat or a couple of bath mats would have helped. Particularly after a shower the entire floor was wet.

The hotel charge's you $150 up-front, not as a hold on your card. Front of house was underwhelming, there is graffitti in the lift, the decor is dated and musty. Simple place to stay for a night.
