Ideal Place to stay.

Was a great stay here, clean, friendly staff and very central to transport, eateries and other amenities. I enjoyed it as it was a short walk to the Southern Cross Station, the ability to jump on a tram and move around the city was also a bonus. Highly recommend staying here!

This hotel needs the 4 star rating reviewed to align with the uncleanliness, old, dirty mouldy and unpleasant odour this accomodation experience provides for you. It’s not on my recommendation list.
