Cute on the outside, not so much in the room

The place is so cute on the outside and the staff was very friendly. However, my room was the complete opposite. The room was small and very old. From the carpet, to the paint, the showerhead and decor. I returned back from a show and found a MASSIVE cockroach in my bathroom. The shower head leaked water drenching me even while wearing a shower cap. The water was hot for about 2 minutes before it became freezing cold and never hot again. My sheets were stained with I don’t know what. The carpets were extremely dirty. It’s too bad this was the case.

Very cramped room with very little closet space. Housekeeping (towels) was only every 2nd day and with the rates charged this was not acceptabl. Tv coverage was poor with only two free to air channels available ( 2, 7, 10 not available) staff were pleasant.

Comfortable city stay in good location

Lovely old building. Small double room & bed *is* small but clean, comfortable and well-appointed with a window that opens as well as aircon. Probably not the room for a standard Aussie couple, one of whom is male, as the bed is foreshortened by a cushioned bedhead. Friendly staff, nice front lounge. Well-priced and located. My only complaint was lack of hot water on the day of departure. Bring a plug for your phone charger.
