Pros +

  • Near Central Railway station
  • Friendly helpful staff; good food; good bar; easily accessible location
  • Efficiently run, well positioned in Chinatown and next to Central railway

Cons -

  • Shower recess needs a good scrub to remove mould
  • No
  • The size of the room. Initially I had booked for two people, but then I came by myself. Lucky for me I could place my large case & various odds & ends comfortably on one bed. If I'd used the case rack, movement thru the room would have been blocked.
