Poorly maintained budget accommodation.
Dilapidated Old room with few facilities. Very noisy. You could hear every noise from adjoining rooms. The shower head drooped so I had to bend down to wash my hair.

Okay stay for backpackers
This is for backpackers. I must say I blame myself for not looking closely enough. I would not have booked this hotel for me. The private room was dated. There was not a single seat to sit on. The lighting was terrible. Good thing we only stayed one night

Booked this through wotif.com. Nowhere in the wotif booking page does it mention this is backpacker accommodation. In fact it calls it a hotel. There were swarms of young people - schoolies? Room was spacious and clean, but very tired. May be ok for backpacker’s but certainly not up to par as a hotel.

The property itself was lovely, the room however was well below standards of hospitality with rusty bar fridge, mould showing on ceilings, no blanket, mismatching drapes, most missing hooks, leaking old aircon units and broken outdoor furniture. Paying 198 for this unit was a total rip off.

Nowhere to sit, no chairs. 2 Mugs, 1 teaspoon no other crockery or cutlery. No light in toilet. Rusty metal roofing in shower cubicle. Shower taps loose, one fell off when turned on. CRACKED POWER POINT & LIGHT SWITCH in bathroom. Dirty unpainted toilet door. OLD rusty bar fridge with Chux cloth under door to catch the leaks.

I ended up being checked into a room at base. It was very basic as to be expected as at backpackers. No TV though as my room was an individual room. No indoor or outdoor table and the front patio area was very dirty and last guests items still in the fridge. 2 star at best.

Reception is poorly laid out - I found the "reception" area underneath a giant sign that said nomads only to find out I have to go about two blocks to X Base Backpackers to check in and it took a bit for people to Reception is to the point and moves quickly. Got introduced to an app called GOKI that would act as my key; nice touch but would have preferred a room key.

Excellent location. Smack bag in the middle of it. Has parking. We had a private room. Was clean. Bed comfortable. Very strong bleach smell. Windows dont open. Was built in 70s. Hasnt been reno since. Can be loud but was quiet around 12am onwards. I would stay there again if no other choice.
