It was perfectly adequate. It's not pretending to be five star, facilities are tired but the sheets are clean, the shower is hot and you get a fridge and tea/coffee facilities. Blackout blinds let me sleep well past sunrise. And the staff were lovely.
Perfect location close to Southern Station access to free Trams and cheap eats nearby in the Spencer Outlet plus great selection within 3 blocks being near Korea town. Staff have a real casual feel which makes it very comfortable.
Room was very clean and bed very comfortable.
Older building being renovated yo high standard, so building has its own character.
Great standard for the cost.
Location was very walkable to great food spots and city adventures.
Great accomodation if you are just looking for a bed for the night in an ideal location to town! Tried to check in early, but couldn’t until 2pm which was fine. Stuff were a bit flustered and weren’t all that welcoming. However, good stay overall
location pretty convenient between 2 train stations

Cute little family-run hotel, decor is a little dated but looks like they are doing a renovation. Staff were wonderful and everything is clean. Will stay again.
