Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel looks a bit rundown and not very clean at all. The dust on the floor beside our bed was disgusting. We opened the bottle water in our room and it tasted disgusting. Bathroom could have been given a deep clean, cup had toothpaste residue from previous guests, blood On wall and waste bin, bottom of shower door filthy. Gave them a 3 because it was a good location, they kept our luggage for us while we went along street on day of departure and you could get water in the lobby. mark on wall and bin

Great place to stay

The place is quiet and clean. I love the extras at the dining room and bathroom condiments. Close to trams, shops. The kitchen could be improvised with dishcloth or scourer, better cooking equipment and decent knife. The location is ideal for public transportation and shops.
