4/10
Pros:
- breakfast in the morning
- free laundry
- free drinks (water, juice, beer)
- location
Cons:
- the hotel stinks like a mixture between raw sewage, mold, and really intense air freshener that only makes it more unbearable; I felt ill if I stayed too long
- they claim they have quiet hours from 11pm-7am, but this couldn’t be further from the truth; the sound proofing in the rooms is terrible; they allow guests to invite others from outside of the hotel to hang out on the roof at all hours, leading to large parties on the rooftop that can be heard all the way on the ground floor — I brought this to the attention of the one staff member working overnight, who told me the following:
1. People have different cultures, and it’s Aussie culture to drink and party all night long
2. He tried to tell them to go to sleep and they said they would (they didn’t)
3. Often guests invite others from outside of the hotel and it gets really noisy, but there’s nothing he can do
While we were talking downstairs, multiple people came into the hotel (at 3:00am) to party on the rooftop. This is clearly a safety concern that staff aren’t willing to deal with.
This is not a hotel, but a hostel that charges hotel prices. If you value clean air, safety, or being able to get a proper sleep, don’t waste your money. If you’re looking for a hostel environment, there are plenty other affordable hostels in the city to stay. This place is incredibly disappointing.
