The staff were very helpful during my 5 night stay. Facilities and extras that were provided like breakfast, showers, lounge area were all more than satisfactory for my needs. The room was spacious for one person. The single bed was very comfortable. The wide variety of eating options within 500 metres was a positive.

Hi there, Firstly the positive was that the staff were friendly. That made a difference. The biggest problem for me was a safety concern which I am sure was not intentional. I checked in there for two nights with my 4 year old son on Wed 1st and Thurs 2nd of October. So on the 2nd, just as we were about to sleep, our door was opened by the guys that were checking in next door. I was so scared and loudly said "Excuse Me" and they closed the door before stepping in. I went outside and they told me that they thought it was their room (they were in 1A and we were in 1). I called the front desk to ask why the people next door can open our door with their key as this is a very scary situation for me and my child. They then fixed the key cards and one of the employees (maybe Manager, I'm not sure) came up to us and sincerely apologised for the error they made. This apology changed my reaction by a lot. I'm sure it was a one off mistake but please be very careful and use the other internal security locks when you're staying here just in case. The toilets, sinks, benches were so clean but the shower was a different story with stained walls and floors. Shower really needs a good clean. The kitchen includes tea, coffee, bread, milk for guests to help themselves for breakfast. Open the plates cupboard and you will see dirt on the small plates. The kitchen cupboards are not so clean. I do not recommend this place for people with small kids but the staff are friendly. Thank you.

The best Pub stay I have had. The band playing downstairs was loud but very good also. Having a dining area and kitchen upstairs was a bonus.

Unfortunately, our first room had cockroaches, a completely ripped-off flyscreen, and a non-working AC. After requesting a change, we were moved to another room, but the AC still didn’t work, and the beds were so uncomfortable that we barely slept. We wouldn’t come back. Breakfast was basically just toast from a shared fridge. On the bright side, the reception staff were friendly. Shared bathrooms were not dirty.

Great astics old looked old school. Very clean, beds a little hard. Shared bathroom for all rooms. Showers where amazing nice and hot. Downside heater/aircon did not work asked bar staff if they could look at this they never showed up, NIL heating for the night. Breakfast included was a litle kitchenette with out of date bread in the fridge.
Hallway with all bedrooms off.
