For the price the hotel was great, clean rooms and plenty of towels and toiletries. Rooms bit dated and new lift recently installed which still had the tape on. For a short stay it is quite sufficient.

The room was very small but it was clean and comfortable (and a choice of plunger, bag or capsule coffee!). Staff were friendly and efficient.

Very reasonably priced hotel in the CBD
Very nice hotel. Lots of amenities- safe in the room, iron, tea/coffee with fresh milk. Breakfast was very good and can be added for a small cost.
Very reasonably priced hotel in the CBD 20 minutes form the airport

Front Reception is poor stay away
The receptionist is very unprofessional. I believe they sleep upstairs most of the day. They don't answer the phone when you call and take 5-10 mins to come down to reception to meet you when you check in/out. 14 April 2024 stay won't be coming back.

13 April 2024
Room much smaller than advertised with huge bed and not much room for anything else. Walls are paper thin so if you get noisy neighbours or street traffic it won't be good. But a clean and functional family run hotel where you are left alone. Water pressure and temperature in old shower was surprisingly good.
