- ole55 (8/5): Handy hassle-free stay - Basic but the room had everything you would need for a short stay. Restaurant was handy and food was very good. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Nothing really.
- Guest (7/5): Enjoyed the location - The hotel is old and the rooms are very small but the location is beautiful. The good thing about old, is the plumbing. The best water pressure in the shower! The hotel is old and the rooms were very small.
- Lynda (5/5): -
- Paul (10/5): Road trip stopover - Its pretty central and we used as stopover on road trip. Parking on site. Room was big enough and very clean. Decent shower with really comfy bed and pillows. Right next to great pub which does decent food. Nice quiet location but near some bars and restaurants. You can walk through grounds to supermatket. It also has a nice small pool
Wifi really good. Has aircon.Owner is a lovely lady who couldnt have been more helpful Nothing , ticked boxes for our stay

- Bernadine (8/5): - Great location!
- Andrew (3/5): Its old & it shows - Location
The shower had very good pressure and flow 😃 The Bed, may as well slept on the park bench across the road.
The doorway to access the toilet/shower is a complete shit show.. if someone had a medical episode whilst on the toilet, emergency services would have no access. Pretty sure it would not be compliant with current regulations.
- Harley Barns (9/5): - Location access to supermarket and foreshore . Beautiful sunrise. No issue quiet , tele was a little confusing. Reception dodgy ?
- Megan (10/5): - The hospitality and welcome was above and beyond Nothing
- Patti (10/5): -
- Tanya (10/5): - The location is perfect, Coles right behind the hotel and the ocean right in front, just perfect. The bed kept moving as it is on wheels.
- Colin (8/5): - Good parking

Breakfast
- Jane (6/5): - Lady was friendly nice pool.
Handy for dinner choices Very dated, whilst i call it budget it wasn't cheap
Needs an update
- Deborah (8/5): Great location! - Room was clean and beds comfy. Great location on the Strand. In walking distance to the Ville and convention centre. Not a lot of facilities at the property, but not needed as close to other places.
- Kathy (8/5): - Position and room was clean
- Jeanette (10/5): - a home away from home
- Geraldine (8/5): Very good - Location was excellent for our short stay attending a wedding.
Room was clean and had everything we needed. N/A
- Tracey (8/5): Clean, comfortable, convenient - Perfect spot for our 1 night stop over. Friendly staff, clean, comfortable room, with a small balcony. Supermarket and bottle shop at the rear of the property and restaurants an easy walk along the road. Had breakfast at the onsite cafe, which opens at 6:00am with plenty of choices.
- Lorie (2/5): The description of this propert was vey deceptive - I would not recommend - Well located As soon as we entered there was a sour smell, narrow, dark hallways, not user friendly in design, felt cheap & dingy. We were asked if we wanted a room with ocean view and it was a sliver of ocean off the balcony.
- Fernandes (6/5): -
- Elizabeth (6/5): Great location, off street parking, down to earth staff. Rooms are well presented, just room small - Room was clean, air conditioned and location was perfect Double bed was small, room was small. Am glad we were not travelling for sport or staying for longer as there was minimal room
- Jo (7/5): -
- Fiona (5/5): -
- John (6/5): - Location Long overdue for renovation
- Carole (9/5): - Friendly and convenient for the Entertainment Centre, beautiful breakfast on the property
- Toni (10/5): -
- John (8/5): The likes outway the dislikes. - Ground floor was good. It was quiet day and night. No riff raff around. I liked the little kitchenette. Comfortable bed and pillows. It was close to Coles and restaurants. Close to a superb pub. Close to bus and taxi. A wonderful oldies Seaview breakfast canteen. A stroll to the strand. Good air condition and fan. Dish washing liquid ran out on day two. Needed more little soaps - they ran out day 4. I did not bring my own hair shampoo as I expected a few little bottles at the price per night. You get all that for $100/night in a shared facility pub in Sydney. On day six they took away the washing up scrubber, the chux towel and tea towel and did not replace them. The door lock seemed unstable. I felt vulnerable during the day when I went out. I took all important stuff with me everyday as I did not trust the whole process of room security. I would have liked to empty the bins on day 3 and had a spare bag or two.
