Guest Reviews

• shawn (8/5): -
• Harsha Reddy (1/5): It’s not good - Pictures are different from the room I stayed in Room is too small and not neat
• kapali (8/5): -
• Stephen (9/5): Very quiet room no noise or - Clean
• Mohamed (7/5): -
• Susan (6/5): -
• hudde (8/5): - Modern room and bathroom. Comfortable bed. Air conditioning. No parking spot next to the hotel.
• Sophie (10/5): Quiet and comfortable stay - Beds comfy, get little half way point to Byron bay, very quiet - the staff downstairs at the bar were very friendly young guy who was very nice Nothing
• Shantanu (7/5): -
• Reg (2/5): -
• Gemma (1/5): - Nothing Every thing
• Ella (7/5): -
• Martin (1/5): Avoid at all costs - Nothing. We walked in, saw the room was completely different to what was advertised and walked out. We stayed somewhere else. The rooms/bathrooms look nothing like what is advertised on the website, to the point where it should be considered false advertising. It is loud, the rooms are just beds in a square room and nothing else and the shared bathroom has not been updated in decades and resembles the bathroom of a cheap backpackers. We did not stay in this accommodation but found far more reasonable accommodation down the road in a motel, which felt like a 5 star resort after this experience.
• Tracey (7/5): Apartment very nice, beds comfortable and bathroom very spacious and shower wonderful (once hot water makes it). Biggest - Location and layout of the room - except for the kitchenette. Kitchenette very cramped but enough for what we needed. Fridge needs to be smaller ( didn’t think I would ever say this) or the door opening the opposite way would help.
• Diogo (2/5): - Dirty and noisy we couldn't sleep
• Mathew (8/5): -
• Roman (7/5): -

• Jon (6/5): -
• Angela (6/5): - Staff were great. Room had 2 single beds, a ceiling fan,air con and a basic chest of drawers with hanging space. Pretty clean looking. There was no mirror and no sink/ basin. The shared bathrooms have not been updated since the 60's. The female ones had 3 toilet stalls and 2 showers. One hook on back of shower door was only place for hanging clothes, towel etc. As clean as could be, but not very user friendly. Gave backpacker vibes.
• Christine (9/5): - Central location, clean, friendly Strong smell of cleaning products
• Biancya (7/5): - We arrived late and staff were super accommodating to help us get settled.
• Seyed Amin (6/5): -
• Yui (10/5): -
• Deborah (1/5): Online pics are misleading of the actual facilities. - Nothing other than location It wasn’t clear that this was pub accommodation the room had no tv no table one hair and a sink. Not obvious the bathroom was shared but could with live that. The night club noise was bad - but had plugs could live too. But there is construction going on which was not made clear - got woken up early with drills and jackhammers - you could not stay in the room. I ended up going elsewhere
• Jones (6/5): Just the plantation - Staff were friendly and the place was comfortable in the hotel area. Accommodation was split by separate amenities, disjointed.
• ilona (7/5): Très bon qualité prix pour une nuit - Le bar juste en bas et literie confortable Pas de parking sur place
• Gary (3/5): - Rooms were very basic and reasonably clean Very noisy location. Very noisy from within the pub. Shared bathroom was not very clean
• Laura ginn (10/5): - Was a pub in the place Bathroom seperate
• Vernessa (10/5): Great stay and accommodating staff, - Great food, staff were very accommodating, comfy bed, clean room, great location. nil
• emma (10/5): -
• Mohammed (7/5): - Easy and fast Nothing All good
• Gurung (7/5): Affordable option if you dont mind shared toilets/ showers and kitchen. - Great location. Close to view points and the big banana. Shared toilets and showers. There's a very old sink in the room with very short taps and the water runs too close to the sink. The mirror above the sink was too high for kids and myself. Made for people above average height.
• Beth (3/5): Disappointed except for the comfy bed - Very comfy bed!! Parking is very limited & not fully secure No lift to rooms Had to walk through a number of bars, up afew flights of stairs & down afew corridors to access the room. No tv or tea & coffee or any other associated appliances in rooms Shared bathrooms/toilets considerable distance down the corridor Music downstairs goes until 2am
• Danny Zhenliang (10/5): - Comfy bed None
• Kalani (10/5): -
• Joshi (10/5): - friend
• Ethan (5/5): Alright hotel - The bar was close to our room, and the ac was nice No fridge in the room, and no table either, felt like a fancy backpackers room
• Kyla (1/5): -
• Taraani (10/5): Definitely a spot to come back too. - Everything was great, clean, staff was welcoming and the location was great. Loved the beds, were so comfy. Nil
• Tracey (1/5): Na - We booked room only to find out they were to separate rooms and upstairs we had an elderly person with disabilities who couldn’t get upstairs we had to cancel due to this issue. So I can’t really give feedback Stairs no room on floor ground. Did can’t for disabled people waiting for a refund as we weren’t informed of the rooms been upstairs
• Deliah Gudrun (5/5): -
• shuo (8/5): -
• Sherry (5/5): Wanted a reasonably priced room for the night and it lived up to what I received. - Polite helpful staff at check in counter. Nice clean amenities (toilet) and sheets, bed comfortable. No safe parking behind hotel for overnight paying guests, poor ventilation in room for people who don't like to sleep with closed windows and air ai conditioner on all night. Didn't wait for breakfast, left early with heavy traffic outside front door, crept out of side entrance. For the budget price it was adequate.
• NateA-F (3/5): -
• Sarah (10/5): Short and sweet stop on the way to Queensland - Great place to stop on the way to Queensland. We didn't realise it was above a pub, but it worked out ok and the karaoke was fun!
• Tina (5/5): - It had beds which is the main thing we needed Not worth the money, can get a room for the same price up the road with private bathroom, kitchenette and tv
• PUNEET (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Nathan (8/5): Will stay next time - Great venue. Central to town centre. Good meals downstairs at the pub. No tvs in rooms but went downstairs where there was plenty of entertainment in the pub
• Tanya (8/5): -
• Jordan (10/5): Absolutely stunning airport hotel. The staff were efficient, welcoming and incredibly helpful. Concierge service was sea - Everything, cleanliness, comfort all top tier
• Kimberlie (10/5): -
• Bazzaz (5/5): -
• Suresh (6/5): -
• Shaune (8/5): - Clean and comfortable. Close to shops. No fridge.
• Molly-Jayne (6/5): -
• Rodney Andres (7/5): -
• Terence (5/5): Just ok for a night transiting through a long road trip - Location was good and conveniently situated. Our late check in was creepy and scary from the outside street. Room had no TV and the shared bathroom was dated
• Lisa (10/5): Would have loved to stay longer, room was perfect and bathroom was better than mine at home - When I pulled up and saw I had booked a pub in the middle of town I panicked but thought it’s only one night, from the second your staff member greeted me, from the check in to the tour, dinner and my night at the pub I was pleasantly surprised, was then sad it was only one nighy Only issue I had was I couldn’t work out how to use the hot water in the shower of room 18, too fancy with no instructions
• GAI (9/5): - Friendly people Busy highway
• Keeny (1/5): Never aver too stay - No thing is even didn’t stay iam lost my payment he but good photo and when cam to see is very bad drank people the even not motel bad location as well Every thing bad
• David (7/5): Perfect for a one night stay. - The meal was very delicious in the bar and great staff, really friendly and helpful. I thought I was locked out of the bathroom at one point. It would be nice to have the power closer to the small desk. One of my computers could reach, but not the other one (which has a pretty long USB cable). I know it would be hard to move them, but maybe have a power cord available perhaps?
• Raymond (5/5): - Had no breakfast
• Joshua (6/5): Was fine for what i needed but i wouldn't stay any longer than i did. - Bar staff were lovely and very helpful. A TV in the room, don't love communal bathrooms but was only a one night stay so not an issue.
• Michael (8/5): Food - Clean, food is very good. None
• Ashleigh (10/5): -
• David (7/5): Good location - Clean budget accommodation
• Tennille (8/5): -
• Marco (5/5): - the noise from the trucks
• Brooke (8/5): - TV was hard to work
• Tania (3/5): Very disappointing. - Late night check-in available. The shared bathrooms are smelly and very outdated.
• Sanjay (1/5): -
• Tina (6/5): Ok for one night. Called a hotel but the rooms do not have a bathroom (shared toilets and showers!) - The price The pictures are glossy and the reality is much more ordinary. Our room didn't even have a painting so literally felt like a prison cell. Room 13 was right next to male bathroom and we could hear the plumbing all day and night.
• Uday kumar (10/5): -
• KikaSan16 (10/5): Très bon séjour - J'avais réservé un appartement 3 chambres. Rien ne manquer! L'appartement très spacieux et bien équipé. La chambre était très propre. Le restaurant-bar juste en dessous était très pratique et on y a trèès bien mangé. Mention spéciale pour AYDEN je ne suis pas sûr de l'écriture de son prénom. C'est le serveur, barman du restaurant. Très serviable et disponible. Bravo et Merci. Le manque d'ascenseurs. Nous avons voyagé en famille (5 personnes) et le fait de ne pas avoir d'ascenseurs n'était pas pratique pour nous.
• Melody (10/5): -
• Tayla (10/5): 10/10 - I stayed in the Queen Ensuite room. It was immaculate, I wasn’t expecting it to be so big and modern. I highly recommend! Will definitely be staying again in future.
• Ma Jacqueline (6/5): -
• caitlin (7/5): Comfy, clean just noisy in the morning - The amenities were nice modern and clean and the bed was super comfortable The light switch had 3 different ways to turn it on and I still couldnt work it out so had zero lighting. So noisy in the morning by either the cleaners or some renovations going on outside
• Dimitra (7/5): -
• Lucie (8/5): Bien pour une escale sur le trajet - Chambre pour une nuit en escale sur le trajet. Cuisine et lingerie. Espace douche commun un peu ancien mais correct. Personnel très gentil et accueillant. Parking à proximité. Le robinet du lavabo dans la chambre fuit et un bruit de goutte à goutte toute la nuit.
• Teagan (1/5): -
• Elisabeth (6/5): Good room to stay for 1 night not more - The hotel has a lot of stairs and no elevator, and the room is smell of cigarette although there is a no smoking sign. The shared bathroom is a bit old but clean, surprisingly has one bathtub. The location is at city center and a lot of place to eat. At ground floor is restaurant and bar. The room is smell of cigarettes and a lot of stairs
• diane (5/5): - I didn't like the fact I paid $210 for one person! For one night. No soap in room. No bedside lamps!!!! I don't mind sharing bathroom. But $210 for one night was way too much.
• Nathalie (7/5): -
• mitchell (10/5): Great staff easy check in - Convenient location Drank too much beer
• Tetiana (9/5): -
• Ian (5/5): Average - Location, is right in the business district and on the main road. The restaurant was good and food was nice. Room was very basic, no tea or coffee in room but there was a communal kitchen along the corridor. Carpets looked dirty and were stained. No WiFi available ( in this day and age?.) We were chapped on the door and told we had 15 minutes left before the 10am check out, which I consider to be rude.
• Yenny Alejandra (1/5): - Convenient, low price, clean toilet and showers Poor noise isolation in the room makes it difficult to sleep, although noise is not from the bar or street, but from other guests, as rooms are very small and you can hear all that is going on in the corridor. The room was very small, not as it looks in the pictures when you book.
• Olivia (7/5): - Clean room with fine amenities. Staff were friendly and helpful. Bathrooms needed a bit of love. Overall, fine.
• Rebecca (10/5): Value 10/10 - Great value, bathroom was lovely, room was very spacious & bed was super comfortable!
