homey but…

7.0

the hotel have this homey feel to it. the old guy was very friendly and make small talk to us every time good coffee and tea in the room was supplied generously and aside from a kettle a coffee plunger is available.

when we first arrived there is nobody manning the reception, no bell or any instruction on what to do for such a situation. while waiting for the receptionist 2 other group of guests arrived. the breakfast is the same throughout our 9 days stay, no variation only the standard bacon, eggs, french toast, bread. no green, the coffee is good though. light in the toilet is so dimmed, no light in the vanity and so difficult to shave. no amenities like toothbrush. our bed covering and pillow cases was not even changed for that 9 days even if we requested for our room to be made. there was even a day that our bin was not emptied. cups was not replaced or even washed.

Great budget stay, great location.

Had no issues with check-in. Staff messaged and called before my arrival to confirm when i would arrive. Response was very quick through booking app chat. Room was nice. Great location. I walked everywhere. Breakfast was included but i didn't try it as I was always out or asleep.

My double room had two singles beds in it but no big deal. Yes some bin emptying noise in the morning but it didnt bother me. Most of the complaints you read are from crabby, unreasonable and uptight people.

You get what you pay for

7.0

It's a cheap central hotel. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Shower is good. Pod coffee machine and selection of teas in the room is a nice extra.

Staff are comical, arrived at 4 pm, and waited 15 minutes for someone to appear at the front desk. When someone did appear, i had to wait another 5 minutes as he couldn't perform the check-in procedure. When someone with this skill set did arrive, he spent ages complaining about his , out dated computer and photocopier before complaining about the local homeless people. breakfast is atrocious. Only take this if its complimentary, definitely do not pay $16 for it I would always expect a certain amount noise in the city centre but be aware if your room is at the back of the building there is frequent commercial bin collection between 4am and 6am and rear plugs are a must

The quilt, and the mattress were extremely dirty. The quilt did not even had a cover, they only put two Lenin on either side if the dirty quilt. The bedsheet was sloppy and did not even cover the extremely dirty mattress. I was disgusted🤮
