A nice basic setup with some kitchen amenities located in an old rail station for some ancient. Indian restaurant onsite for convenience. Really close walk to Viaduct area, SkyTower etc. Some steep hills so consider rideshare or Transit if mobility is an issue. Parking was easy, right out front but limited space so pre book! Would stay here again.

My room was cleaned daily and the staff were friendly - however the check in process was confusing as the staffed hours were incorrect and the building was locked when I arrived which was unsafe. The remainder of my stay was okay and the building had everything it needed and was in a good location.

Convenient and worth the money.

It is the perfect place to stay when going to Spark Arena. The place is beautiful if you like historical places. It was raining when we came, a lot of leaks in the lobby. Also, no toilet paper in the lobby toilet. The room is spacious, clean, and have everything we need for our overnight stay.

Caverous old big city train station was really unique and interesting tho a bit unsettling. It was like being accidentally locked into a large, old public building overnight with no one around, not even any ghosts…

Worst experience I’ve had. Upon check in, dude at reception was telling off his employee how unsafe things are. Utterly, unprofessional how he’s handling the desk. Dodgy place. The room itself is H&S risk. Had my toe hit by the toilet uneven surface floor and bled.
