Hi the room was tiny/ initially the booked me into a really tiny room. We are a couple and we would have had an uncomfortable night. The initial room had a very poor view on to a wall. This is student accommodation not 3.5 star accommodation. Very difficult to find. Had to go through student’s common room to get to our bedroom. Not serviced. Very basic towels. This is the worst fitout place I have been to. Locks everywhere - have to take keys with you. Felt out of place being in a hall of residence. Price was wrong - should be $50 per night.

The room was clean all the kitchen appliances worked. However the tv refused to be tuned to get the free to air channels neither auto or manual tuning worked. The bed itself was very comfortable however a serious lack of bedding was an issue NO extra pillow (1 isn't really enough) And NO doona or Warm winter weight blanket meant I was cold. The shower and bathroom were very good and the desk & chair were very comfortable to work on.

We stayed here because of the proximity to Wattle Park where we attended a wedding. The Fusion cafe was open so we were able to buy lunch close by. Reception staff were friendly and helpful which made our stay pleasant. The room was on the small side but had everything we needed.

Much better than anticipated, overall! I would recommend this place during quiet term times, and on week days, when the nearby facilities are all open but the noise and crowds are minimal.
