7.8/10 Good! (1,006 reviews)
Whilst the hotel itself is a little old and dated the location is SO GOOD! Literally a stones throw away from Southern Cross station - grab the Sky Bus and get the airport easily. The Italian restaurant across from the hotel does a great Amatriciana pasta btw. I was busy working so just wanted a comfy bed for the night and definitely got that - it's basic but does the job and the staff were lovely.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (161 reviews)
Communication for picking up and dropping off key was not great. I emailed twice with no reply so ended up phoning them. Other than that the property was excellent. Close to tram stop, very clean and tidy. Great views.
