- daniel (5/5): - Location, pool, cold beer and spots girls, The Room had a very bad condensation on the wall and ceiling. It was raining of the ceiling bad it wet the bedroom and the beds. I don't know what it is But needs serious look at.
- Sinh Chung (9/5): Tốt - Chỗ đẹp Bồn rửa mặt cũ và bị vỡ trước khi tôi vào
- Steven (7/5): -
- James (10/5): Good times - All good
- Evelyn (3/5): I did not enjoy my stay at the property. - The property is nearer to amenities, walkable distance to Greyhound bus station and airport. Restaurants are also nearby. The level of cleanliness of hotel rooms is something I never expected. I was allocated room 33 and as I entered it was not smelling clean and fresh . The toilet chamber was black stained and thought the stains were not removable. I took the brush and surprisingly they were easy to remove. That made me to check the walls of bathroom and I could see dirty poo like stains on wall and I had to put complain at reception. The walk ways were dirty. The lady allocated me room 30 which was much better. In the morning I had to heat my food in outside microwave and it was terribly dirty not sure when it was last cleaned.
- Greg (8/5): Pretty good. Affordable accommodation. - Yes, the property is close to the shops and restaurants.
- Chris (8/5): -
- ilana (1/5): - Nothing The place was filthy, nothing like the photos, full of strange people, very disreputable, the accommodations were damp, dirty, and completely substandard, everything was disgusting.
- Maraltadj (10/5): -
- Klaus (6/5): Nicht wirklich empfehlenswert! - Das es gut in der City gelegen ist. Die ganze Anlage ist abgewohnt und wirkt vergammelt und wenig gepflegt. Der Pool ist ordentlich und sauber, dass außen rum nicht.
- Terrence (8/5): -
- Julian (10/5): -
- Amanda (6/5): - Location is fantastic and an easy walk to shops, restaurants and pubs. Food is available at the restaurant, as is room service ... if it's just a short stay, I would recommend I don't think this accommodation has changed over the past thirty years! I have been staying at the Roey for many years and the rooms are still the same - the musty smell is repugnant but obviously cannot be avoided due to condensation

- Emma (9/5): Highly recommend, very central and great staff ⭐️ - Amazing staff, both girls at reception were so friendly and accommodating. Free shuttle bus to cable beach was great. Access to pool and pub/restaurant. Close walking distance to Coles, cafes, Chinatown, Matesos Brewery and Sun Pictures! Rooms were basic but perfect for a few nights. My transfer from the airport was late but staff were deeply apologetic and gave me a bottle of wine as an apology and were so warm and accommodating for my stay!
Pool water was warm which wasn’t great given the humidity!

- Downes (10/5): Everything you need - Staff member at reception remembered me from my last stay. She was lovely, friendly, personable, helpful, and professional. Room was brilliant. Comfortable bed, and the facilities I needed. Located in Chinatown was perfect with easy access to shopping, the Visitor Centre, and the airport. Meal was delicious and delivered to my room. Excellent stay. Thank you. Only because I have no arm strength - the sliding entry door was very heavy.

- Denise (6/5): Always have a great time at the Roey, however for the price the accommodation needs a face lift, the pool is nice the ro - Easy to enjoy the Roey without the complication of driving No towel racks, needs ceiling fans, really could do with a face lift
