  : We were a bit nervous about staying here cos of the bad reviews on website, we were pleasantly surprised - our room looked, felt and smelled clean. Mattresses and pillows were comfortable (may have been replaced recently cos they didn't look very old) Sheets/towels were clean - you do have to strip own bed & place linen/towels into bins outside so past comments relating to dirty sheets may be due to people not carrying out this task. We were able to get parking, did see there were still 3 people to check in and 1 carpark left - we solved the issue of not losing our park by using Uber to and from town - 3 min drive so it is very cheap to use Uber. It is a great little place for a bed/toilet stop overnight. No proper cooking facilities (just a microwave, toaster & fridge) so plan to go out for dinner or get takeaways and not sit in room for hours - only 1 chair to sit in however you can sit on bottom bunk to watch TV which is not ideal if more than 1-2 people. We didn't use cafe facilities for breakfast due to early departure for airport but it is there if you want breakfast.
  : Ensuite very tiny, not much room to get changedFloor could do with securing or replacing - very loud squeaking when walking across room to toilet - sounded like elephants walking through

  : The free breakfast and eating area was nice and tidy with really good staff :)
  : The room we stayed in was very average, water damaged shelves and there was no duvet cover just a sheet on top of duvet inner. A jug with mismatched glasses and cups with chips etc. no microwave or table for our family of 4. Plus we had to take our own linen out and all for a cost of $175 a night. Nothing like the photos on the net.

  : Not the best place for mature adults or families. More like a backpackers. Very rowdy and noisy, but was a good vibe and clean. Staff were nice. Need to walk up a very steep hill.tk get to it...or you can drive up or get a cab.

  : It's good value for money. There's a little fridge and a bathroom. The views are pretty good
  : It was like staying at a students Union/university halls because of all the loud, drunk people. Multiple rooms had brought big Bluetooth speakers with them and played them all night and early in the morning too. There is no sound insulation. The bathrooms are small and hard to move around, they have sliding doors which also do nothing for sound insulation between the rooms. Parking is limited and would be difficult if you have a big car. We booked because the bar room looked fun but it was closed due to Covid, which obviously isn't the hotel's fault and may have contributed to people being loud in their rooms instead of in the bar.

Disappointing

  : Friendly staff, comfy double bed
  : Dark dingy room. Sofa bed terribly uncomfortable, loft very small and squishy. No hand towel or tea towel. Etremely noisy and very expensive for what it was. If you want peace and quiet this is not the place for you.
