Overall is reasonable, cheap accommodation solution.
The building is very old and smells like it too - even with the window open all afternoon and ceiling fan on it was impossible to escape the mustiness. The floors are super creaky and the ‘sound proofing’ isn’t really sound-proof - being on top of a pub and next to train crossing - but does the job enough. I didn’t realise the bathroom (& kitchenette) were shared spaces and that it’s literally on top of a pub that has live music - so that was a reminder to read the fine print. The facilities were very clean (other than the car park which could do with a mow and a tidy up) and for accommodation on a budget it did the job. Large comfy bed, large screen tv, wifi, etc. Shower pressure not great nor did the hot water last long so be ready for a speedy one!

Good location.. however $82 for the night was a bit much.. $65 is where I think it should be priced
Loved the atmosphere and bands, its nice and quiet in the accommodation area though if you want to get your head down.
Disliked the lack of menu choices, however there are numerous eating spots within easy walking distance from the hotel..
It was clean wasn't informed untill check in it was on third floor and no lift. I walk with a stick. Sharing toilets and showers only received a towel. Didn't see anyone at check-in just code to get into each floor.
Absolutely worth the money!! I just changed my accommodation from mount Helen therefore I don’t have a place to stay, that’s when I searched this place which attracts my eyes straight away. This is a place to offer you a place that feels more like home than a hotel. I lived from Monday to Wednesday night , therefore the bar downstairs didn’t bother me too much. I really like the environment here as it’s hygienic, everything is in order and the bed linens and sheets are perfect clean. Although the bathroom is sharing, it doesn’t bother me too much as other guests are very polite and didn’t make anything that makes me feel uncomfortable. I would definitely recommend if you are trying to find somewhere just staying for couple of nights and feels like home!

This place is for the young at heart!
This place is for the young at heart. Check in is contact free. Parking was available. Room was clean. This place is a music venue and the band does not stop until 12.15pm.
Some guests then returned to their rooms to play even more music. My hardcore gig days are behind me sadly, so this place was too noisy for me. The beer garden was directly below my window and there is someone out there with a really annoying laugh!
The property itself had character and it was really nice , the inside was so old and outdated . The only good thing about it was the electric blanket on the bed and the heater in the rooms .
