The whole place was woefully uncomfortable to the point I left 2 hours after arriving and did not return for the duratio
Cons:

To start, the automated system to even get my key failed and as a result I needed to contact support. The skylight was cracked and had some form of mould or moss growing on it. Fridge was leaking liquid directly next to the power point. Bathroom wall was damaged and not patched up. Ceiling fixtures had shoddy paint jobs around them that didn’t match the previous ceiling coat.

The whole place was woefully uncomfortable to the point I left 2 hours after arriving and did not return for the duration of the trip. Refund still pending even though it was submitted the moment I left two days ago.

Looks amazing but not so much!
Pros:

Great location! The aesthetics are great really trendy!

Cons:

Bed was hard as a rock! Didn't look like it had been cleaned properly in a long time. Dust everywhere.. Tv kept not working couldn't get any normal channels. Bathroom door is see through! Room is alot smaller than it looks!

Pros:

The cost was good and the location

Cons:

The water never went over warm so a hot shower was out of the question. The photos on the website make the place look way better than IRL

Restless
Cons:

The hotel is directly next to a nightclub - you will hear the stomping from 9pm to 7am non stop. Earplugs won’t help!!!!!!!!!!

Overall quality budget accomodation.
Pros:

Very central to eating and entertainment.
Close to shopping precinct.
Room had good facilities.

Cons:

Be aware of the close proximity to the late night / early morning entertainment on weekends. Noise cancelling earplugs work wonders.
