Property very old and very basic. Shower, water was hot but broken tiles and dirty grout. Really cold room, inadequate 4 fin oil heater did nothing, I wore two pairs of socks on my feet plus another pair on my hands plus my dressing gown in bed to keep warm.

Don't judge a book

Mates! Let me tell you: I had pretty low expectations, but given we had a big ute, 3 bikes and a bike trailer and planned to explore the city on bikes, and also, not having a crap load of disposable income, we booked this place. I'm embarrassed to say: expectations were low. It looks like an old school motel from the 80s. But I tell ya what, I rate this place heaps. Here's a few things: service - friendly. Location - amazing. Right next to a bike path, boom, we cruising into the city in no time. Shops, heaps of restaurants, parks, pubs, whatever, it always seemed to be like a 2 minute bike ride or 5-10 minute walk. And the shower... Didn't look like much. But I've stayed in a lot more expensive places that had showers that were a mere misty spray compared to this bad boy. Heat, pressure, baaaaah, it had it all, coming at ya. 2 double beds and a banging shower for a bargain rate. Ill recommend to anyone going to Canberra, don't waste your money on hoighty toighty hotels, this place is exactly where you wanna be. Well, it was for us anyway. Also, room was big. We had 3 bikes, a bike trailer and a pram. And we kept them all inside and still had space to crawl around with our baby. Good on you guys. Love it.

Convenient location to Dickson and tram to epic or city. The buildings are very tired and in need of updating especially bathrooms. Minimal facilities in room. Fridge and microwave jug available but no cutlery or crockery. Clean but hard bed, aircon and electric blankets available. Minimal staff

We booked a room for 3 people for 4 nights. There were only towels for 2 on arrival and toilet seat was detaching - my husband fixed. Dirty cups were not washed after the first day and bed was not made after first day. Not enough milk provided for tea for three. Air conditioner was extremely noisy and we had to turn off at night as it was too noisy to sleep. We turned fridge off as it was also too noisy.

When I decided to stay, they claimed there was free internet. Suddenly, you only get 600MB, and then suddenly, there is no internet at all. It is very slow, and even your phone doesn’t work. This is a scam—they call it free internet! ‏ and also the sink in the bathroom is constantly leaking, and you also have to ask for plates bowls, iron and toaster. Don’t recommend long stays
