    The other guests were so friendly and helpful. The staff were also very kind. The wifi was really good. It was a short walk from Rosebank mall. The bed was uber-comfortable: so bouncy! There was neither a two-pin plug nor wifi in my room. To access both, I'd have to be in the common room.

    Bad

  • Engine customer Oct 2023

    I liked that it was closer to the necessary facilities The one staff member always had an attitude, the kitchen had a dead rat and nothing was done about the smell so we had to cook in that horrible smell .Also you pay to use everything from pots to iron .

  • Engine customer Aug 2023

    I didn't like anything The way the staff treated me was very poor, when I asked for an invoice for my boss to pay... They refused, when payment was made, because it didn't clear immediately they made me and my 2 kids sit outside in the back yard untill 12 o'clock that evening until the payment cleared..... I didnt apriciate when they charge you for a family room and a day after they change there mind and now wanted to charge more for the bunk beds but yet it was quoted in original price when I tried to speak to the owner he was even worse and asked us to leave if we don't agree to pay the increase in the price
