The location offers proximity to skybus and the train station. This hotel is a safe walk for solo travellers. I found the front desk staff lovely.

The room was very small, it had the world's smallest jug. The room barely accommodated a single bed. There was no view, just a wall.

The staff were friendly and always greeted me with a smile (which I always appreciate). The location is very close to Southern Cross Station and the Skybus terminal. I found the included breakfast had a good selection of items and set me up well for the day.

The paint in the room looked tired and could use refreshing.
