Good place for staying when visiting for a night out at nearby theatres.
Pros:

good location. Well priced in a central location. When having trouble accessing entry into room, manager arrived asap to reset door enrty lock. Tea/coffee making facility in the room. Great area downstairs for making a meal if staying for a few days.

Cons:

Bathroom door kept sliding open, I had to place a hand towel between door and wall to keep door closed and private. The outside window is unable to be opened for outside air.

Suited my needs.
Pros:

Great location. Near cafes, the beaches, across the road from the cinema

Cons:

A bit run down. Alot of nasty stains on the hall carpet. Double glazing would help with the noise from the street.

Will not go through studio on king again
Pros:

When studios on king finally agreed to refund me after stuffing me around and very bad service with no help at by guy on phone and I think was falling asleep and make kind of weird snoring sounds and not answering questions and could not figure out how send me codes to get in the front gate!
Took hours of phone calls and I ended up nowhere to stay that night. Unsatisfactory service.
Lucky booking .com were veryy helpful and polite and eventually got my refund.

Cons:

Customer service.

Absolute dog shit disgraceful
Pros:

Rooms disgusting, tv didn’t work, not even a coat hanger , nothing like advertised more like a cheap backpackers very disappointing I wouldn’t let my dog stay there absolute disgrace for $178 per night should be ashamed of themselves. False advertising at its best. We paid to stay elsewhere and refund denied.

Cons:

Everything

Good location, simple rooms, but not looked after.
Pros:

Location, easy to book, simple layout

Cons:

Ive stayed here several times. There is always something broken, a tap, a door a shower. Nothing big, but just a bit shoddy.
Also the carpets are all stained which really brings down the calibre of the place. Which is a shame as its perfectly ok otherwise,
