Literally the worst

Absolutely awful. I stayed long enough to book accommodation somewhere else then got the hell out of there. I've stayed at some crummy places before but this was the only place I haven't felt safe. How this place is allowed to operate is beyond me

Wasn't sure what to expect as the price wasn’t it was Grand Final weekend. The room was neat, the shared bathroom was tidy, for how close it in the CBD it was quiet and I felt save and comfortable. Management was excellent, allowed me to leave my bag there while ai explored the city after check out. It was an easy and fun trip. 7 11 around the corner and Kabab shop right across the road. I recommend this highly amd I will book again.

Had no idea when booking a double room, that it was a double room in a 4 bedroom apartment. Although you can lock your own room, staying in an apartment with junkies is really not what I had in mind when I booked! Woke up to a knife literally sticking into the kitchen bench. The bathroom was disgusting too. Would never shower in it and didn't realise I'd booked a shared bathroom accommodation by the description. Thank god it was one night only stay!

Overpriced hostel with bad facilities

Four rooms in one apartment. Old, only one towel for 5 days (had to buy some), no tv, no window, no cleaning, noisy. Way overpriced at $235/night. It's not worth more than no service shared facility hostel accom at about $100/night.

Check-In Nightmare

The check in process was very difficult. There is no front desk. You can’t access the building without a code or badge so we had to call hotels.com and the property phone number. We were told to enter a certain code and then the lady yelled at us demanding to know how we got that code. Then she yelled at her son the whole time we were checking in. I finally interrupted and asked if we should just go somewhere else since they were so upset we were there!
