We felt the pictures online were not the same as those we actually ended up with. We had been recommended this by a friend, and were disappointed. There were no extra blankets, pillows, or even a chair and small table to put things on and have one of the 3 booked guests to sit on, aside from their bed.

It does not look ANYTHING like the picture! At least not from the front! There was no-one there - they operate it remotely. The entrance hallway smelled old and musty. The bathroom needed a good clean / renovation. The bathroom door didn’t fit properly so you had to slam it to get it to close. The extractor fan and several lights didn’t work. The net curtains and room in general needed a good clean. As we went in the room in mid afternoon the curtains were all closed, not inviting. The beds were very soft, but surprisingly I slept well. It was cheap and very close to bars and restaurants.

We did not stay here and would like our money back. The man who could not speak English showed me three rooms to choose from all of which we very dirty. Scuffs on every wall, carpets ripped and not vacuumed. Each spa bath had stains, scuffs one had paint splatters all over the bottom. Other had dirt. One rooms bed spread had stains on it. I took some photos as evidence. My children age 6 and 4 wanted to go home immediately after being very exciting about a night in the city having a mini holiday. Very disappointed, disgusted it was horrid. I would like a full refund as we did not stay and told the host all of the above. Please make contact to discuss this further.

Lacking Security
Conviently located for St Janes theatre but security totally lacking. Although a dead lock on front door off the street, no key or swipe card provided. Same with smoke door on ground floor so anyone can walk in off the street and have access to rooms. It looked like the door to my room had an attempt at crowbar entry! No checkin staff available. There was a compressor/pump that "kicked in" regularly throughout the night. Very noisy. Drafty room with just a sheet and light duvet on the bed. I slept in my clothes to keep warm.

Front desk was closed even though was there an hour before check in closed. Had to call and was given the key via a lock box. Was also told there was an extra $15 per night charge for parking, I said I wasn't paying this as it wasn't mentioned on the website or at any time during booking. Given the price I wasn't expecting much but got even less than that. Just a clean basic room was all I needed. Room was basic but that's it. Run down, dirty, smelly and noisy was what I got. Checked the bed on arrival to find the sheets weren't even clean, there was actual hair in the bed! Called to complain and was given another room, this room was slightly better, at least the sheets appeared clean. Shower was unusable, and probably would have felt like I needed a shower after using it anyway if I could use it. Brown water came out and the hose leaked everywhere. Brown water also came out of the sink tap. Loud music coming from another room until after 1am then some sort of a scuffle broke out in the hallway around 2am meant no sleep all night after 11 hours on the road was not ideal. The entire place smelt strongly of curry. The doors to the rooms looked to have been replaced recently and a part of the door jamb was missing on the hinge side leaving a gap that can be seen through. Had been booked for 2 nights but checked out the first morning and moved to a much better place. Yes this was cheap but expected more even for that money.

The place is super run down. The kitchen in my unit was still super dirty- food splashes up the walls and a thick grease layer on the stove top. Food splashes in the microwave. The fridge was full of water. Mouse droppings in the cupboards under the sink. I went and bought disposable cutlery so i didnt have to use anything. Parking is a pain in the butt and isnt worth $15 a day, especially when others arent being considerate of how they are parking as it is super tight. The positives were that the heater worked really well and its in a really good location.

Worst accommodation we’ve ever stayed at. Filthy, cigarette filters under the bed, mouldy and damp. Cold with no heating and not enough blankets. Unsafe for families, we had a knock on the door by someone asking for weed. Don’t book here, the reviews are correct. Expedia should disassociate themselves with this place.
