The property was an easy walk to transportation, clean, had an issue with a blocked toilet, looks like property is under renovations in parts (Or needs a little) beds very comfortable, great views, has character. Very affordable, and friendly staff. Nice and quiet for a mini vacation. Or a weekend retreat.

You get what you pay for....

The good - Beds were comfy enough, but not outsatnding - Relatively cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for - Near to stanmore train station so transportation is easy and cheap into the CBD - Near to enmore restaurants which have every type of cuisine you could want at affordable prices - Wifi is fast enough to stream tv shows/films, but you'll need to log in every time you connect to it (for whatever reason if I was connected to it for "too long" the wifi would get slow) The not so good - Unclean, a cockroach was in my room and another was in the kitchen. People washed pots and pans but didn't put them away & the hobs would get filthy - No lockers to lock items away so you're hoping nobody in your room steals from you - Timers on lights in bathrooms says they're 15 minutes but they actually turn off after 10 & one of the lights in the bathroom just stopped working - The smoke from people smoking weed/cigs outside of the entrance ended up coming into the room if you kept the window open.... - ....which you had to as there was no a/c, only a floor fan which was broken but semi functioning; alongside a ceiling fan which was also broken and non-functioning - Lack of plug sockets for half of the room, so I had to use my portable battery to charge my phone as there were no extension cables in the room
