This place is awful, just awful. Our expectations were pretty low to begin with after reading reviews, $1000 for 3 nights. SO dirty, SO hot, SO INCREDIBLY tiny, broken sink, crooked toilet, smells, exhaust from next door restaurant floating in, so loud…the only good thing was the staff gentleman was kind. RUN away from this place.

This was the smallest room I have ever stayed in. Pictures were very misleading. Very noisy— I had a sound machine with me so that helped. Overall seemed fairly clean, and location was good, but be aware the rooms are tiny and you can hear everything.

The best part about this was the price and the location. We got more than what we paid for - a pretty decent private room, comfortable enough bed, more than workable bathroom. Would recommend for a semi-budget option.

Kings Cross base

Good location base. Original room a bit of a small layout but we were luckily offered another choice of room available which we took. Staff friendly and very helpful. Communal areas need refurbishing as heavy use. Busy area so if on lower levels can hear outside but have to expect this in a city. Lots of places to eat nearby.

Poor condition

The carpet was too dusty and untidy. It is very bad room for this price , but found great hotel in two minutes walk distance at perfect condition at the similar price. Felt unfortunate that I saw the good hotel nearby only after vacating from Leigh and at the end of my trip. The toilet wash basin was broken and looks filthy. Even there is no phone available to contact the reception,.had to come down to reception if we have any questions and couldn't even find the receptionist there when I went to give my key back.

Everything was perfectly fine. I stayed for 3 nights and no one ever came to clean or straighten my room, replace towels, etc., but otherwise, everything was OK. The staff at the front desk were particularly nice.

Good value hotel in great position, very friendly

Staff very friendly and accommodating. Gave us a ground floor room after an accident effecting mobility . Great position close to train , bus and underground. Lots of dinning options and takeaways in walking distance. Entrance hall needs upgrading , needs new carpet but our room was fine . Don’t be put off by first appearances.

Do not stay here!

The room was disgusting. It looked like it had never been cleaned! There was thick dust and cobwebs everywhere, the only clean thing was the bed. We couldn’t use the fan in the basement room as it looked like it had never been cleaned the blinds didn’t work so we couldn’t see out the window there was thick dust on the lights and the wardrobe and cobwebs underneath. Honestly one of the worst places I’ve stayed at the attitude of the guy at reception when I went a complained was awful.. when I said to him about to room he said it has only been cleaned by him 2 days ago ( looked more like 2 months) and what did I want him to do about it and that he could give me a refund, I asked if there was any other rooms as we wouldn’t have had any where else to go this last minute he replied there all the same. He sent a lady to come clean our room again she was very nice, however the room needed more than a wipe down it needed a deep clean! As someone who had worked in a few previous hotels as a house keeper I was shocked at how they could give someone an unfinished room caked in dust! I will never be going back here again as we felt so uncomfortable in this room.
