Sunnybank Star Hotel & Apartments

Sunnybank Star Hotel & Apartments

10/10 Excellent
"While an older hotel the room was large, the bed very comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. The room was clean and shower hot water plentiful and aircon worked well. While a toaster and a jug were provided there weren't plates, cutlery etc. There is a good regional shopping centre across the road and there are large mall type centres about a kilometer away (Sunnybank Plaza etc)."
