Great
Pros:

We really enjoyed the location, having space and tools for cooking, how clean the room and shared spaces were, friendly staff..we liked everything!

Cons:

The only downside of it is that the aircon in our room was extra noisy and it was annoying for sleeping.

very over priced to the room but given it was f1 time I suspect everywhere was over priced.
Pros:

Location was within easy 5 min walk of the tram stop or a 25 min walk into city, Communal kitchen was clean and good to use, Staff where very friendly and helpful

Cons:

The room layout was not as expected from the photo, having to step up on to a platform and climb over the bed was not what we expected, the shower and ensuite with the frosted glass was not to our liking, sure that not everyone wants to see a fussy outline of their partner on the toilet, no facility to make coffee in the room,

Nice amenities, good bed and nice staff! Recommend for the price and would come back :)
Pros:

We've paid for the bedroom plus because I was afraid it was going to be too small, but it was actually fine (highlighting that we didn't choose the smaller room). I've read a few comments about the shower, yes, it doesn't have a shower glass on the 4 sides, but it was alright (you just need a couple extras floor mats to keep it dry). Bedroom was nice, bed was comfy, and the facilities itself for the price you pay it is suuuper worthy and nice! The vibe as well, everyone friend and only good ppl around. We would definitely go back.

Cons:

Since the toilet floor gets a bit wet it would be nice to have some extra floor mats beforehand instead of having to look for the cleaners. Would also be handy to have some hangers available at reception for whoever need some in the room (since there is no closet). I've read the reviews before going so I took my own and it worked fine with the layout of the room, no closet but plenty room to hang a few clothes.

Great location, fabulous staff
Pros:

No breakfast

Cons:

With the bed accessible from only one side it was a bit difficult for us to manage, we are in our late 60's mid 70's
