Love the location. Very convenient for visiting the hospital.
Beds were very comfortable and clean. Unfortunately the bathroom is in need of a new fit out. But we did have everything we needed.

We enjoyed our stay. Well equipped room within moderate walking distance of cbd. Perhaps inevitability for central city, there was some noise from neighbours

Staff were very pleasant and friendly, everything was clean and tidy, despite it being an older style building. Plenty of buses going into town, but also an easy walk downhill to the CBD. If you're in to watching the endless inaction of cricket the Basin Reserve is literally across the road, but if you want some actual action: keep on walking.
