I had a small private loft room that was perfect for my budget and needs. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the linen was good quality. Bathroom was clean. Shower was good. Wifi worked well. The kitchen is very well equipped and kept clean. Plus the location at Bondi Beach is ideal. The city bus stopped very close by. If you want overall great value, this is the place for you.
