A comfortable stay with basic addaqute facilities.
Pros:

A very good Cafe next door with suitable open hours for breakfast & lunch. The access to the accommodation section was very secure & private with 24 hour access. The Room was comfortable with adequate basic in room facilities. The daily Room cleaning & fresh towels provided were very good.

Cons:

The short flights of Three Stairways to access the accommodation were very steep & awkward to use, not very suitable for senior travellers or travellers with mobility issues.

Pros:

Security was amazingly helpful. Staff were good. Bed was comfortable. Checking in and out was easy. Great shower.

Cons:

Large cockroaches in shared bathroom.
Ceiling fan in the room didn't work. Needed to open the windows to get some air flow... Traffic noise with open windows was exceptionally loud for a Wednesday night.

Pros:

La habitación es muy cómoda cuenta con cargadores en sus lámparas por si no tienes enchufe australiano

Cons:

No tiene un personal que esté fijo y atento por si tienes algun inconveniente, las habitaciones están en un tercer piso no tiene ascensor así que no sirve para ir con personas con movilidad reducida o con bebés en coche, en mi caso iba sola con mi bebé y tres maletas y me tocó subir y bajar varias veces con mi bebé en brazos para poder bajar todo mi equipaje ya que no había nadie quien me ayudara
