I was paying a bargain internet price and so was pleasantly surprised to find the room and bathroom clean, spacious and properly equipped. There was also a large balcony but without furniture. Bed and linen were excellent. Unfortunately, television reception was unacceptably bad. The hotel’s furnishings overall were certainly tired although not shabby. Some background noise from the central air... more

We booked couple nights there because of the discounted rate and the location is not too far away from city central. It turned out that the cleanliness is much poorer that most of the backpackers or hostel. We found blood on the sheet cover, holes and stains on the blank and the bedding sheets do not look clean white as... more

Stayed here with 3 friends as we were attending an event at the Convention Centre. Great location - close to Darling Habour, easy to get to from Central Station and hotel is on a very quiet street - you don't even realize how close you are to the city. Nice kebab shop nearby too for a late night visit!! Room... more

It's very close to the Powerhouse museum, monorail stop, chinatown, haymarket, paddy's markets and the capitol theatre. The rooms are a good size, clean and well maintained, if a bit dated.

The hotel itself is dated, and is starting to show it. We had problems on arrival with the a/c and were moved right away. However, the balcony... more

It was of reasonable walking distance to Chinatown, Paddy's Market and also Central Station which was quite fun to look around. The area is quite an old run-down area in my opinion but I wouldn't call it dangerous and felt ok walking from Chinatown with a couple of people at 10pm at night. The hotel is a good budget hotel... more
