The room was sufficient, the bed was comfortable. I was within walking distance to cafes, public transport, theatres, etc. I did think the listing included a washing machine, but this was out of order. There were paid laundry facilities on-site though. The dishwasher in the room (bonus), was also not working.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Much like other reviews, this was disappointing. The room was not very clean (marks on the pillow, hair from the last guest and mould in the shower). The air con unit was VERY loud and not very effective. The wardrobe unit was broken and hanging off the top hinge - notified staff but it wasn’t fixed in the 4 nights we stayed despite them saying it was a real safety risk and that they’d get it fixed asap. Staff member we dealt with was friendly. Again, we weren’t aware it wasn’t a hotel when we booked - quite misleading.

We were pretty disappointed with our stay. Unfortunately the room was not as advertised… the “city view” balcony looked directly onto a hotel wall only a few metres away, which was nothing like the photos shown when booking. The room also had an unpleasant smell when we arrived and we had to purchase our own room spray just to make it bearable. The bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. There were also several maintenance and cleanliness issues. The bin in the room was extremely small and impractical, the TV in the bedroom did not work, and the toilet had visible skid marks when we first arrived, which was pretty off-putting. Overall, the stay did not meet expectations and for the price, we expected much better attention to cleanliness, comfort and accuracy in the listing.
