Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a convenient location, with nearby shops and fast food outlets, although it can be a bit noisy being above the main bar downstairs. The rooms have been recently renovated with new carpet and fresh paint, but the bathroom facilities were not entirely clean. The service was helpful and welcoming, although they missed putting a microwave in the room as requested. The dining experience included a trip to Woolworths for breakfast and trying Moroccan pancakes. Overall, it offers good value for money despite some shortcomings.
The hotel had a mixed experience for me. The rooms were secure, clean, and had essential amenities, but the attempt to cover up a bad odor with air freshener didn't work well. The service was helpful overall, though there was a rude encounter initially. The location was convenient, being just off a main road, but there were slight issues with exposed wires in the room. The dining options were limited, and the facilities were satisfactory but not outstanding.
The hotel is conveniently located near the bus station and not too far from Uni, making it easy to find. However, the rooms have an unpleasant smell that required airing out, and the service was extremely unhelpful when it came to booking issues late in the evening.
