We did not get the room we booked. A nice room if a little more care was taken with cleaning. The bed cover had multiple stains on it and the jug had water left in it and had scum floating around in it. Not much can be done about the water pipe noise when the room next door has a shower and the hum of the AC units outside the windows. Next time I'll keep looking

Great for one night

One night stay.great price, small but co fortable room. Extra clean.. one drawcard was the shower which looked great but hard to adjust with tap behind warer. Danger of getting burnt which i did slightly. 19 to 20 stairs to room, no lift, limited parking.

Good Value Comfy Rooms in a Convenient Location

Great place to stay. Good Value. Convenient location, small rooms , but comfortable with an ensuite. Not all rooms have a bathroom, but the shared bathrooms are really nice. We have stayed here a few times. The food and Staff are awesome. We will stay again very soon. Please Note: Its hard to get an Uber or Didi in this location so just get the Bar staff at the Five Islands hotel to call you a Taxi.

A quick stop we for us and we had what we wanted- a clean and comfy room with a fridge, kettle and tv. Perfect. Simple and affordable. great bathrooms too. If I had to say one thing that was missing it would be a light over the bed/bedside light. Will stay again

Great location and great food, but on the intersection of two main roads so it's convenient but unfortunately too noisy. Windows need to be triple glazed to keep the traffic noise down. Bathroom needs to be properly renovated and repairs done.
