Charing Cross Station accommodation from AU$164

Excellent hotel in great location and wonderful view but very tired now and in need of a full refurbishment

Do not stay here! The room we got was really dirty and had one working outlet. Given that it is such a small and minimalist space, we had hoped the room would at least be clean. The bathroom had a horribly poor design with no shower door, so anytime the shower was turned on, the entire bathroom floor was soaked. There was no way to keep the shower water inside the shower as there was so little gradient to the floor to the drain. The reviews said the hotel had beauty rooms on each floor so I didn’t bring a hair dryer. There are only 2 beauty rooms on floors 3 and 7 and they only had one working hair dryer. Those rooms were also incredibly dirty with hair everywhere. There wasn’t even any space to open up our suitcases, and I know the square footage is described but some floor space to have an open suitcase isn’t even available. So much wasted space in the bathroom and bed frame. We ended up only staying one night here and booked another hotel close by. We just couldn’t stay in the room feeling like we were sleeping in a jail cell. When we checked out early, the staff just said okay well enjoy the rest of your stay. I didn’t expect a refund but maybe a more sincere apology. Might work for some, but the rooms are simply too small and dark for two people. I can’t even imagine having more than two people in a room. If you are traveling with more than one person and want a comfortable stay, just basic hotel necessities, do not stay here.

The staff were friendly and kind, the room was clean. However, for me personally, the room didn’t match the price point. I stayed in the presidential room and it was very underwhelming. Buildings mostly blocked the view of the river which was the main attraction for me booking this room. Overall, it was nice but expensive for what it is.
