Quick access to airport.and city
Pros:

Location is great. Short distance to airport. Great for a one night stay in between moving to other towns or catching other flights the next day.. old world style.

Cons:

Beds need to be upgraded. Amenities needed to be improved. The restaurant and bar was closed permanently unfortunately.
The look of it is tired.

Pros:

You get what you pay for with this hotel. Its a bit rough around the edges and outdated but it's a great location in the city centre next to the main train station. 24/7 reception makes check in a breeze, just don't forget about the $250 refundable deposit. The showers do have about 25cm step in to them so might not be the best for those struggling with their mobility. The building also has a lift going from reception so getting the suitcase to the room is no issue. Happy with our stay it was exactly what we expected for the price.

Cons:

Mattresses weren't the most comfy but we still got a decent sleep.

Ok affordable city hotel
Pros:

Location is very convenient for a short stay or if transiting through as it's very near the station with lots of late night shops and cafes nearby. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and the room deposit was returned very promptly.

Cons:

Nice old world charm about the decor but feels a bit tired, has definitely seen better days. Not much seems to be spent on maintenance. Pretty noisy also, with lots of coming and going and loud talking throughout the night.
