GreatSolo stay
It was good. What you would expect from a hostel. I did not see any plates or utensils available I was only there for one night so I just used my own but did not see anything written about getting it from the front desk but other people seemed to have utensils from the front desk. They also have signs that they will kick you out if you do not wash your dishes immediately so there was not a pile up of dishes - but the dishes seemed like they were half washed. Nothing new for hostels.

Great location, great place and easy to deal with staff. Only downside is the room to shared toilet/bathroom ratio, but not too hard to deal with!!

The price or rooms was very reasonable!
It was convenient to be able to park our car for a reasonable rate of $10 per day under cover!
Very convenient to the RPA Hospital and shopping area and plenty of places to eat!
The communal kitchen was not very clean in the morning for breakfast, sinks had pasta & cereal tipped out into them instead of into the bin which was mainly a problem caused by some tenants!
The bathroom had mould around the sink and shower had clumps of hair in drain!
We were in room 1 and it was very noisy with people coming and going through the front door which slammed shut each time!
Mostly minor problems that could be rectified quite easily!

It is a very pretty place to stay. The en-suite was very comfortable and the balcony was so nice. It was a safe place to stay and the staff was very welcoming.

Below averageStayed with friends
This is by far the worst place I've ever stayed at, even including all the hostels, some of which only cost 1/10 of the price of this one. The whole room smells horrible and the bed is so uncomfortable that I thought I was in jail. The customer service is also bad - just during my check in process, she's quarreled with two other guests. If I knew this is what the place is like, I wouldn't stay here even if they pay me to!
