"Great location, a few steps away from the Tram and the beach, central to food, bars and entertainment. Shopping is 4 tram stops away. Lovely staff and noise was kept low. great to see a few older travelers, not just the backpackers. two small negatives where the messy shower stalls and the unhygienic kitchen towels that where quite dirty and a health hazard imo. Great to see "quiet hours" for those travelers with busy schedules. The fridge rules are also great!"
