Our stay at The Alison was quite good. Reception lady was very friendly & helpful. Parking was secure & very convenient. Lovely comfy bed, clean bathroom( although tiny ). Great proximity to the light rail. The only downside was that our room was at the front & traffic noise was very loud & constant. We’d stay again but request a room further back, if possible.

This property was close to public transport, within just walking distance from the tram which made it amazing to stay at. Only downfall was our room faced out to the Main Street and you could hear the cars passing by quite loudly. Didn’t bother us too much as it was just a one night stay for a concert so we were barely in the room, so it suited us well

Excellent location for UNSW anff for public transport. Small cosy room with good aircon. But the shower doors didn't close well so the bathoom floor was wet after anyone had a shower.

I loved this property! The room was spacious and clean. This was my first time sharing a bathroom and didnt have high expectations but I was honestly blown away. I never had to wait for the bathroom and the bathroom itself was clean and lush. The only downfall was the rooms are not very sound proof and the parking is extremely tight.

The room was small but alright. The bed sank a bit too much. There was a creepy man standing in front of the hotel at night. The wall and the door are thin. Given the price it was not the best choice but it was OK.

The Property was very clean and well presented. A Great location for us with easy access to cafes, restaurants and public transport. The only thing that we didn’t like was the street noise in the front room. The traffic was constant and light to medium sleepers would be disrupted. The room could do with better sound proofing. I am sure the all other rooms would be much better. Other than this the rest of the venue was great.
