Disliked: Amenities
Easy check-in and space was clean, just wasn't what we were expecting (definitely should've read reviews first), very small and old, stunk like cigarettes. The guy next door must've been the manager or something, because he was chatting with a mate on the phone at 6am (which was super rude at that time knowing guests were staying next door) about seeing us on the camera. Didn't feel comfortable staying the full time, and ended up staying somewhere else the next night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Got upgraded to a room in the smaller, nicer block. Was ok. The bed was clean, towels were decent, and room was spacious and bright. Location is on a quiet and unremarkable street. The aircon was loud and ineffective, sink plugs didn’t plug. I didn’t fancy the main block, with a big hairy guy wandering around as if there was a mandatory buttcrack dress code. The wifi was fine as long as no-one else was using it. Uber Eats was easy. But the staff were pleasant, and people hanging around outside seemed to be enjoying themselves. So - not bad, not great. Cheap, basic, friendly. A hostel with your own room.

The only thing to like is the location,dont bother staying here as its overpriced and grotty. We booked the standard studio $176 for one night and $20 for a parking spot that was so narrow the car just fit the space.The studio was very 60's and somewhat clean .The sliding door tracks inside had mould and dirt on it and a crack in the glass.The curtains were to small for the door and luckly i had a couple of pegs to close the gap during the night.The bathroom was tiny with some mould and dust on the high ceiling and window. One wet glass between two. Missed matched cutlery and crockery.The fridge very noisy. The bathroom door didnt close.Very flimsy furniture.Bed was surprisingly ok.The old rusty outdoor table needed a good clean or replaced. The lady that checked us in was polite and friendly I wouldnt recommend staying here unless its your last resort.

Don’t have anything positive to say except the location was good for walkability. Check in process was atrocious. Was told I would be staying in location across the street staying on 2nd floor no offer to help with my luggage. Security gate for apartment didn’t work just a gate that didn’t even close. Place was pretty clean, bed wasn’t overly comfortable. My main issue was the noise. Constant construction noise even had the joy of being woken up by angle grinders on Saturday morning 😡
