“Spacious and clean kitchen plus bathrooms on both floors, and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Common areas are cleaned regularly, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Free luggage storage is convenient, and the historic building has old-world charm. Great value, close to restaurants and the CBD, with comfy beds and a positive, polite atmosphere. Washing and drying facilities available, and the lift and stairs both work well. I'll definitely be back.”

“Stayed a few nights and it was absolutely worth it. Staff were friendly and helpful, sharing all the info I needed. The room was small but charming and had everything I required. Location was ideal, with bars, cafes, and the CBD within easy walking distance. Clean, with a welcoming atmosphere—plenty of chances to socialize or find a quiet corner. Fantastic value for money and an all-around enjoyable stay.”

“Spent a week here exploring the city, and the location was perfect—a short walk to the centre with great cafes and bars around. Showers and toilets stayed clean and well-maintained, with proper cubicle doors for privacy. Reception sorted any issues quickly; they changed our room from a twin to a double without fuss. Great value, friendly staff, lots of social areas, and a lovely garden where everyone gathered at night.”

“Had a great stay. Staff were friendly and always ready to help, particularly Yumi who provided excellent service with a smile. Location was perfect, right in the CBD within walking distance of many restaurants and close to public transport. The price was very reasonable. There was occasional noise and some long-term guests took up space, but overall positive, and I'd recommend it.”
