very tidy personal space.
communal areas not too bad, very big and impressive.
very quiet while I was staying but obviously close to the Railway lines so traffic noise could be a problem.
Good Air-conditioned and well maintained studio space

A beautiful old building
Good place to stay for value and convenience. Newly renovated rooms. The staff there were amazing, came to get me from the carpark and carried my bag up to the room (night staff). Thanks heaps!
My room was cleaned daily and the staff were friendly - however the check in process was confusing as the staffed hours were incorrect and the building was locked when I arrived which was unsafe. The remainder of my stay was okay and the building had everything it needed and was in a good location.
It is the perfect place to stay when going to Spark Arena.
The place is beautiful if you like historical places. It was raining when we came, a lot of leaks in the lobby. Also, no toilet paper in the lobby toilet.
The room is spacious, clean, and have everything we need for our overnight stay.
Great staff, very helpful, big bedrooms, very clean place and very original architecture (former train station station). Only negative is that trains can make some noise very early in the morning. I would go back anytime.
Thank you for the great customer service. Highly recommended A

Very big and comfy bed, large room but a bit basic in fixtures. Curtains a bit weak so doesn’t block much light and a bit noisy but in a great location and a good price.

Liked: Amenities
A bit noisy (people screaming) at night, trains start around 5h30 more noise but the staff is awesome, very helpful and efficient.
For an extremely fancy building, it’s very old school and basic inside. It was nice and clean and good sized rooms, but all other facilities were very basic. Perfect for a budget trip.
Lady staff member on duty Saturday night was excellent and helpful

We only stayed one night, but we were very happy with this property. We looked out the window & it was quite dirty……we simply closed the window curtains. The unit was wonderful. When we return, we will re-book here.
Very good to have the city so close. It’s so convenient

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The architecture in main areas was grand. The rooms were very basic. Of course it was the prior Grand Central station, so trains still run. Therefore noisy.
Great place to stay! Lovely staff! they were really helpful. Definitely stay again.
Just as a side note, don't go to nearby restaurant called Platform 8.....worst service ever. Felt like I was a burden for asking for one Indian (no other type of food available) dish. Read Google reviews.
