A few days prior to our arrival I had injured my ankle and it was no trouble whatsoever to have our original booking changed to a ground floor room, together with an upgrade! Made my stay much easier and extremely comfortable thanks.

“Bang for your buck. Convenient hotel close to airport and public transport.”
Super convenient location and loved the free 24/7 shuttle we took at 3:30am for our early flight. Was easy to get the bus 1 minute walk from the hotel into the city centre, only cost $27 from Riverside Markets. Rooms felt a bit dingy but the beds and pillows were super comfy - best sleep we had in the whole 2 weeks. Property was clean. Meals at the on site restaurant exceeded our expectation, felt like we received a meal from a 5 star restaurant. Staff super friendly and helpful.
