Some things didn’t work (jug, broken fan knob) economic so not too fussy and a brilliant location with bus stop outside the door, amazing book shops, lots of eateries and easy walk to everywhere. Hard to find staff. Comfortable bed, good shower, clean.

Basic facilities. Room had two visible pipes that hummed all the time that made getting to sleep difficult. The low price combined with the location was really the only thing going for this 'hotel'.

Woke up with a sore back. Noise from pipes/ motor made hard to get too sleep. Noise increased about 5am so was awake early. No where to sit nowhere to hang towels.

The room is good for a budget hotel, but there is no soundproofing. For a hotel at the beginning of one of the popular streets in Wellington night life, its not recommended for a family or if you want a good sleep in the weekends. We can even hear drunk conversations on the streets. We had university students as neighbours and we did not have a good night's sleep. Old wooden floors that squeak if you walk on them, and make good noise with any hard bottom shoes especially high hills.

Perfect location to Cuba and Courtenay, all necessities met for an overnight stay. Spacious room. Can't complain about pokey bathroom considering all other locations were more expensive with a shared bathroom. Suited perfectly for a Sat night out on the town.

The property is in a good central location. Check in process good. I booked for 2 nights but only stayed 1 as the noise from the other occupants was terrible... started about 8pm and continued on and off all night... swearing and playing loud music... then one male at 3am yelling and barking like a dog and yelling F**K the world etc. When i left early i told the man at reception that i was booked for 2 nights but leaving he said "ok" ... no asking why so thought I'd give my reasons here
