Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dining options can be limited — While the hotel has a restaurant, one guest noted that no dining was available during their stay, so you may need to rely on nearby eateries.
  • Mixed value rating — The Value category scores 6.1, which suggests some guests feel the price doesn't always match the experience.
  • Inconsistent room experience — One review rated the room at 6 out of 10, pointing to a second-floor room that was clean but basic, with only essential amenities.
  • Some categories below average — Certain rating categories such as 'cat7' (5.9) and 'cat8' (8.7) show variance, with the former potentially indicating issues in an unlabeled area.

“Surprised by the comfort of the Standard Twin Room – had a kettle, fridge, and stable Wi-Fi. Central location made it easy to find great food and the bus tour pickup point.”

“No dining on-site, but the city centre location means food and essentials are available 24/7. Public bus is only $10 return compared to a $90 taxi – and the shower was the best I've had.”
