2/10 Poor

Very disappointed, not a safe vibe
We only stay one night however that seem to long as we was so disappointed with this place. We was not expecting anything more than a clean and safe room however we did not feel comfortable with what was offered. We had booked a motel room. On way to the room we noice they used the gest towel as door Matt's outside the rooms to soke up water that was running down the passageway. When we got to our room we found that window in the door had been boarded up, note no warning at check-in to explain, we also notice the lock hanging off. The cooking facilities look like they never been cleaned. The main room was over crowded with items of furniture and everything seem old and grubby. For the cost we was disappnted. We looked to move but queen's town was busy and the place was full so we opted to make do and left at 4am as we could not rest.

Great location, handy to town and good view from the second floor. Not enough car parks. Very dated interior apart from the bathroom. Shower was faulty and big crack in hand basin.

Beds were comfortable, looked very new and sheets were very clean. Same with the bathroom. Down side was that the radiator didnt work (replaced by 2x heaters in the room) and there was a big patch of mould by the door on the left. Other wise, great location at a few mins walk into town and awesome view out of the apartment.

Amazing view, friendly reception, great location, functional, but very basic. Could use updating and better cleaning in bathrooms and windows (mould around frames due to condensation).

8/10 Very good

Only stayed one night, Sept 26, 2022. Great location and convenient. However, the property is old. Heating system is old. Provided external/mobile heaters. Keeping the mobile heaters in a proper place was a challenge. It has to be plugged and at the same time it should not interfere with one's walkway. I was given a room in the ground floor. Since, it is next to the road, it was noisy. Less privacy, since the only glass viewable area is located towards the road.
