Cleanliness
7
Many guests praised newly renovated and very clean shared bathrooms, but several reports of reduced room cleanliness, an unpleasant smell on one stay and a bed-bug report lower the overall cleanliness sentiment.
Service
8.2
Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful at check-in and overall; however there are isolated reports of rude housekeeping staff and poor management/inaction during an evacuation alarm.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised — very close to the train station and convenient for events and travel, repeatedly cited as a major positive of the hotel.
Room Quality
8
Rooms are described as comfortable with clean showers; often small but adequate. Some guests note occasional smells or less-clean rooms compared with prior stays.
Amenities
7.5
Shared bathrooms are modern and high-quality and the on-site pub/bistro is appreciated, but late-night live music/nightclub noise, lift quirks and parking limitations detract from amenities.
Value for Money
8.8
Multiple guests call the hotel very good value for money, praising cleanliness of renovated areas and the price-quality balance.
Food and Beverage
8.9
Pub food and the bistro receive repeated positive mentions (nice food, fabulous meals), contributing strongly to this category.
Overall Experience
7.2
Overall sentiment is mixed-positive: strong location, good food and value, and modern bathrooms lift experience, but frequent weekend/night noise and occasional cleanliness or staff issues reduce the overall score.

Pros:

Location, heritage, restaurant, clean & comfy

Cons:

Tv didn’t work & reported to staff who said they’d be up in 15-20 minutes. An hour later no show still & as I’d finished my work I went down to the restaurant & then watched the footy on the screen instead of in my room.

Nice but wont sleep during weekend nights
Pros:

Good location, nice renovated place, comfy beds

Cons:

I understand loud music in bars, but when you cant sleep until 3am because they turn into a nightclub with bass so strong it is shaking the furniture in the whole building, windows and wardrobe doors are resonating nonstop with the music being almost as loud as being downstairs, its quite hard to sleep, watch tv or do anything. There should be a warning when booking this place that you wont be able to sleep during weekends here and from 10pm till 3am you wont close your eyes if you wanted to rest

Not for us
Pros:

The bed was comfy, bathrooms were nicely refurbished but need attending to more often. Each time we went in there were dirty towels strewn around, water all over the floors and generally messy

Cons:

We were a 67yo mum and 40yo daughter staying in 1 room, constantly had people banging on our door all night and people swearing and shouting just outside our room and in the rooms either side of us, we were quite scared and would never stay here again, we got up and left as early as we could in the morning to avoid meeting any of our 'neighbors'!

Awful
Pros:

New and renovated very nice

Cons:

The Hotel had DJ music playing loudly until 3 am! The Hotel provided ear plugs in the room. Which was laughable. Did nothing. You shouldn’t allow people to stay if you are going to have music on all night. Got no sleep at all.
