8/10 Very good

Was good, close to everything in the city.
Paul, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Good position in the city.

Hotel was in a great position in the city and was quiet. Checkin was excellent and run by locals. Aircon would’ve been better positioned in the bedroom. Average accommodation for a cheap price.

3-night trip

8/10 Very good

For the price it was well suited! Very basic, comfortable beds, good hot showers. The staff was fantastic! Very helpful. Stained bed sheets, dirty floors and all the surfaces need a good clean wiped!, toaster not working. Other than that, its a OK place. friendly, and helpful.
Juliani, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect for our quick stay. Beds were 5 star, so comfortable and perfect for our quick layover. Staff were very helpful with our late checkin. Rooms were dated but the price reflected this so this was not an issue at all!
Jennifer, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Definitely will be staying there again. Enjoyed our stay and great price.
Angela, 4-night trip

Needs an upgrade

Location was ideal but the accommodation is very old. Fixtures missing inside the bathroom. Only enough PowerPoints for their electric items. The room had an old school box air conditioner that was noisey n then kicked into even noisier each time the compressor set in. But, the beds were really comfortable and the staff were very friendly. Do you get what you pay for? $140 a night? I’d probably not stay here again unless they did some upgrades.

10/10 Exceptional

The location was great, lots of restaurants at walking distance. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Martha, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Property badly needs a renovation. Leaky old taps, mold in the bathroom cupboard, tiles in the shower, stain mark on the flat sheets, sofa cover seems like it hasn't been washed in awhile, ceiling fan in the room not working. You can hear everyone passing by the room, paper thin walls. Microwave's coating is peeling, showing some rust. Mirror in the bathroom is rusty too, was very dirty I had to actually clean it to see myself in the mirror. Location is convenient, but there seems to be a lot of drunk people hanging around. A drunk man was harrassing us at the gate of the motel when we arrived, scary if you have kids with you. They have baggage storage, staff are nice. Pool seems dirty, didn't use it. Won't return here again.
