6.6Verified guest“Very tidy and well-organised. Each guest gets their own storage for food and belongings. Stayed in a private room with shared bath – it was roomy and comfortable. Great location near the CBD and public transport. I'll be back.”
6.6Verified guest“Lots of great restaurants and cafes nearby. The staff were super helpful, especially Shari who went out of her way for us. The street is quiet and public transport is easy. Beds were comfortable, and we were surprised to have our own ensuite instead of sharing. The shared kitchen was well-equipped and clean, with everyone having their own utensils and plates.”
