Like the place as it was situated in the centre of the city. Staff were friendly and the place was like "Home Away from Home"
Lei L. Couples Australia, November 18, 2012
Great location, large space but old facilities

great location, and it is near to the shopping center.
5.3
The facilities arew too old. However, the space of the room is very large. The best selling point is the location. It is near to the shopping center and Woolworths, and it is also not far away from the pier.
Shopping Tip: There is free internet access in the nearby shopping center.

great location but poorly maintained rooms

location was perfect

The sheets were not as clean, the Area behind the television, which did not work was quite dirty. the rooms need refurbishing , look pretty old. The loaction was the most impressive part of the stay.
Restaurant Tip: Good indian & Italian restaurant on spence street , just round the corner.300 - 400 mts walk.Night life is good, in the area . there will be lot of backpackers to bump into.
