Carol from Australia (9/10)
Comfortable beds, wonderful and helpful staff, nice and clean apartment, clean facilities, plenty room as well as a little kitchenette coffee/tea making, small refrigerator which was big enough for our stay. Woolworths 4 min walk around corner. Her majesty theatre as well as Princess theatre at other end of the street, both only a 3 min walk. Cute cafe next door called Gordon House that has a delicious menu at reasonable prices.
China town just down the road but I would highly recommend Shark Finn restaurant that’s only a 2 min walk away. Car park next door and only $35 for a day parkRetro from Australia (9/10)

Return customerNicole from Australia (9/10)
Complimentary coffee/tea/hot chocolate and jelly beans in the reception area was great. The bed was comfortable, as were the pillows. Fluffy towels, nice feeling body wash and lotion. After reading the reviews I was anticipating a nice property but it exceeded my expectations. The room was quiet and barely heard any outside noise. Within very short walking distance to both the tram stop and train station. Also very close to a supermarket on the next street, convenience stores, cafes and restaurants. There were also windows to be able to opened to get fresh air instead of the air conditioner.
