"A small, dated hotel in the CBD which was super convenient to all public transport and shopping. It was comfortable and very clean with no frills; a tiny elevator that was great while being on the 4th floor. Managers were helpful and friendly - the staff in the attached bistro showed no customer service skills at all, but the food was excellent. I would stay here again because of the excellent location."
