The room was fine, however I came in, there was a dirty plate near the kettle on arrival, the mattress was severely damaged, and uncomfortable, we struggled to sleep. I also put the sign on the door for the room to be cleaned. My husband and I were out all day morning to evening and we came back and it had not been touched.

Our stay at The Alison was quite good. Reception lady was very friendly & helpful. Parking was secure & very convenient. Lovely comfy bed, clean bathroom( although tiny ). Great proximity to the light rail. The only downside was that our room was at the front & traffic noise was very loud & constant. We’d stay again but request a room further back, if possible.

This property was close to public transport, within just walking distance from the tram which made it amazing to stay at. Only downfall was our room faced out to the Main Street and you could hear the cars passing by quite loudly. Didn’t bother us too much as it was just a one night stay for a concert so we were barely in the room, so it suited us well

Excellent location for UNSW anff for public transport. Small cosy room with good aircon. But the shower doors didn't close well so the bathoom floor was wet after anyone had a shower.

I loved this property! The room was spacious and clean. This was my first time sharing a bathroom and didnt have high expectations but I was honestly blown away. I never had to wait for the bathroom and the bathroom itself was clean and lush. The only downfall was the rooms are not very sound proof and the parking is extremely tight.
