Ok for a sleep
The service was great & polite. The cleanliness was on the other hand not so great. The walls opposite the bed had stains from ceiling to floor, empty bottle of Coke Zero left by previous occupants, a strong smell of mould & urine in the room. I killed 3 mosquitoes & 2 flies in the room on the first night.
There is no storage what so ever, so you are literally living out of your suitcase. Very small room so if you are staying for a night or two & you just need somewhere to sleep it’s ok, other than that I wouldn’t recommend it.

Great location close to Southern Cross and multiple tram lines. Right next to the Aquarium as well.
Room was good enough for the price, however the hallway leading to the room smelled like dog. We were ground floor room 8.

Short comfortable and pleasant stay
Apart from the beeping smoke detector for every few seconds, the stay was comfortable and good. The front desk staff attend to the smoke alarm sound when approached and was told that it was due to low battery which he did changed it. But the smoke alarm has an irritating beep sound every one or two minutes which are loud and interrupted my sleep. Another plus point is the luggage storage facility which allow me to walk around the CBD for last minute shopping and lunch without lugging those luggage while waiting to pass for my evening flight

The room was perfectly adequate for a quick overnight stay. Spotlessly clean and quite spacious for what is described as a “shoe box”. Area leading to room was looking pretty tired and grubby but once in my room, it was clean, quiet and I felt safe. Great location, it met my needs.
