Couldn't get to our room with the stairs. We were exhausted and fed up. Luckily, a very helpful member of staff changed our room to one without stairs. We even had a nice view and a walk in shower. We were very grateful.

The room was nice for the price and Hotel was just n convinate location near Southern Cross Station. The bed was uncomfortable as you could feel where two single beds had been joined together and the mattress was lovely lumpy on one side. Room was also noisy hearing people in above room. Also floor outside room was wet as it was exposed to the rain due to an open atrium.

Room was tidy but not clean, the bathroom sliding door had many hand prints and behind it, easily accessible with a vacuum, was quite a lot of dust build up. Shower was average with periods where it would go scalding hot and then very cold quickly. There was also some mold in the grout and along the silicone sealing. Also if you have curly hair the only shampoo/conditioner is a 2 in 1 so make sure to pack your own.
