No shops nearby but not far from the Smith Street area. Also trams nearby. I wouldn't really call this a hotel, more like a glorified hostel. The room was good but that is all I can say about the place. It is not staffed most of the time. Luckily there was someone at reception when I got there as a solo female traveller. There are no other facilities what so ever, no downstairs seating area or anything. Noisy at night and I could smell smoking from somewhere!

Friendly staff , room was clean and surprisingly hotel was very quite, parking out front on street was easy and free from 10pm to 8am. Also for us it was a matter of location as just a 2min drive to eye hospital from hotel. No complaints from this customer.
