Although the general state of the hotel was quite dated and worn the room was fine, comfy bed, plenty of hot water and secure.
Staff were helpful and courteous whenever I asked a question. Housekeeping staff were friendly and pleasant.
Location was good, walking distance to public transport and shops bars etc
We often stay at the criterion,as its convenient when needing an often late stay before flying out to work the next day. The 11am check out works well for us. The rooms are nothing flash but always clean and comfortable enough. The only thing I'd say is pack your ear plugs because it can be a little noisy
stay over after flying interstate back to work
The room was clean, which is the most I could ask for. Very old and outdated, and this was meant to be the renovated room so I'd hate to see an unrenovated one.

Room as clean but very old Only one chair in room and were told couldn't get an extra one. Not a proper wardrobe for hanging clothes. Location was excellent close to shops and transport.
There was black mould on the bathroom ceiling and a damp smell in the reception area. There was a bucket that looked like it was collecting water on the stairs. I probably wouldnt stay here again. The bed and sheets appeared clean.
This hotel has seen better days however for a short stay it is conveniently located, has 24 hour reception, luggage storage facility and friendly staff. And it is cheap.
The room was comfortable and benefited from a balcony. Bathroom was clean and toiletries were supplied. Could do with a lick of paint to brighten it up and carpets could do with replacing, but considering the price and location was competitively priced. Staff were very helpful
So run down and felt disgusting when we walked in. Wifi did not even reach our room and the cot we had requested wasn’t there

Clean room in an old building. Excellent location. We felt unsafe as there were a lot of rough people wandering outside the entrance of the hotel. Hotel entrance is always locked and entry by access card.
Well situated but charging a $250 refundable fee in addition to accommodation was unexpected.
The place is very old and does not rate compared to other hotels nearby. No dining in house and no cleaning on weekends.
