Pros:

No thing

Cons:

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing stay. The room was extremely dirty and had a strong unpleasant smell. The shared bathroom was unbelievable—old amenities were left everywhere, and there was dust throughout the property.

If you’re considering staying here, especially on a Friday or Saturday night, please think twice. Don’t expect to get much sleep, as the karaoke continues throughout the night and the noise is extremely loud.

Overall, the cleanliness, facilities, and noise level were far below expectations. I would not recommend this hotel.

Cheap room, good location
Pros:

Excellent location, good private room. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Facilities could be improved with small effort. No mirrors in rooms or in bathrooms. Very creaky doors on rooms and communal bathroom doors that slam extremely loudly. Of two showers, one only drips and the door doesn't lock.

I was breaking my journey from Gosford.
Pros:

Conveniently close to Hamilton Railway Station. Plenty of shops to browse nearby. Bed very comfortable.

Cons:

Found a couple of weevils on the floor in my room. The fridge area needed a good vacuuming. I was in room 3.
Also no teabags on top of the fridge so I looked behind the fridge and there were teabags fallen behind the fridge. That’s when I observed the dust behind and under the fridge. Also no milk supplied for tea/coffee. I suggest a small container for holding sachets of tea/coffee. Only stairs to get to rooms. Apart from all of that I did find the room cosy.
