Great location, only 2-minute's walk from Southern Cross station. The room is more spacious than shown in the photos on the hotel's website.

This time they give me a room with window and ventilation. That was the great difference. And they do have big beds. By night I heard the tram. But it was a good stay with great location.

The biggest issue was the amount of bugs and insects that also reside in the rooms. They are not just limited to the bathroom but can be found everywhere. The place needs fumigating. Check in was done via a machine so its hard to comment on customer service

Good location next to station would recommend if you’re staying just to sleep there. Only provided soap. No slippers, no laundry bag, no sewing kit. So be prepared when you go there

This is the place to book if you want to save money on the weekdays (because it’s cheap) Downsides that our home had no air conditioner just Fan / Heating mode. Also no room service and you need to ask for new towels and shampoo etc. But to be honest I can live with it if it’s the cost of getting a place in the center for cheap.
