“Avoid it unless you get a great rate”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

The three things this place has going for it are the location, a fairly interesting rustic building and one nice staff member. The "queen bed" (in our "deluxe" room) was two single beds not even zipped together so there was a huge dip in the middle of the bed, which comes with complimentary stains on the doona cover.

“Awesome location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2013

I only spent 1 night but the location is perfect. You are 5 minutes walk to Central station and directly behind the hotel is Chinatown, which has plenty of good restaurants at reasonable prices. The room was clean and comfortable. Even though my room faced busy George street, the windows were soundproofed so I couldn't hear the traffic below. I... More

“Cool inner city hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013

Right on George St, with Chinatown at its back, this is a super little inner city hotel, small but pretty well formed. Cool rooms , excellent guest lounge and great service for what is a fairly cheap hotel. Excellent value for money. Just stayed for a second time, and it was perfect for my two night stay.
