Paul

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Sorry to sound like a whinger didn’t mind the partying but people coming and going all night and morning a little disruptive ie 12 an 1 am 2am. The guy in the room had some sort of alarm he slept with going off every 10 minutes so I left at 2.30 am a sleepless night. Can’t remember a worse sleep. Definately not worth $130 for that experience, in fact I would t do it again if I was paid $300

All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful for literally anything. I was new to the country from Canada on a working holiday visa and they were so kind to give me pointers for phone plans, health care, opening bank accounts, booking trips north of melb. Quentin from the front desk most notably was my favorite. He was the one who checked me in and out during my stay. He made me feel so comfortable and at home. Really recommend this place for an affordable stay and a place to meet people from all over the world. So perfect for someone new to the country and trying to find their bearings.
