Passable
Liked: The location was good
Disliked: Very noisy, the doors could only close when you banged them hard. Walls are paper-thin

Never again, approach with care...
Liked: Location near park and art gallery not too far from harbour or sky tower
Disliked: Where do I start, people always seemed to be blocking the small doorway sitting on the steps making entrance difficult. At night not sure if a club to the right as it goes down stairs, so may be why people there at night.Reception on 1st floor I couldn’t see the directions easily. Lift to 4th floor only, my room on 5th floor next to roof terrace. No toilet/bathroom facilities on 5th floor, no security door to rooms other than room door. Although are security doors on other floors, I know this as had to use bathroom facilities on 4th floor and door is close at night so you have to use a code to gain entrance. Not the easiest thing to do in the early hours when your desperate for the toilet!Room consisted of a small metal bed, a side table and what looked like a small book case. One door may have lead to the terrace but it was locked. 3 temporary hooks on the door. Window cracked, could open but then you got the smoke from the terrace. Room not very clean, although bedding was. Ceiling light had the electric cover off!

Exceptional
Liked: The location is perfect! I had a private single room which was tiny but clean and nice, with a great city view. Shared bath areas were clean. Loved the rooftop deck. Check-in smooth and easy. Overall great vibes!

Waste of money
Disliked: I wasn’t allowed to enter due to an invalid ID. I had only an 18+ card which is normally accepted but here I was turned away. I wasted $100 on money I couldn’t afford to spend to be turned away. If it wasn’t for the kindness of a friend I would’ve been homeless. No refund either. Disappointed and dismayed.

Private room was grotty and...
Liked: Location was okay.
Disliked: Private room was vile. I paid $140 for essentially a prison cell. I could have paid $40 more and gotten a nice hotel room in a similar location.
