The rooms were very dirty and did not look like they had been cleaned. There was hair throughout the bathrooms and the floors had not been cleaned. I did not feel safe staying in the hotel as there were people coming and going at all hours of the night and day. I ended up leaving after only staying 1 night and stayed elsewhere. I do not recommend this property to anyone.

Definitely the biggest bang for your buck, not much more than a bed in a hostel, definitely one and a half or two times the price, not too bad. It’s definitely nothing special so don’t get your expectations up, but it’s nice to have your own space and air conditioning.

Rude money hungry staff with no empathy just a cash register. Rooms like prison cells literally with no windows. Nothing to do at the venue other than a dusty boring balcony, so you can’t even chill.

Reeplace the Shower Head please.

The shower head was in a very bad condition. $50 spent at Bunnings to replace it would be a simple solution

Our experience were not so good, at midnight other rooms were in partys and we can't rest, the staff was not working at this time, nobody was there. Never they cleaned our room, the have a policy about clean rooms only after 3 days staying there; we were 5 nights and they never did it. One person of the staff in the morning wasn't very friendly. Bad look.

Dear Hides Hotel! I checked out 5 days ago and the 100 AUD you took out from my account as “block pre authotization garanteed” isn’t yet back in my account!! To take the money out took 5 seconds!!! To refund it back?? How many days you need?? Why don’t you take just one dollar (like the hotel I am now in Sydney) and in case any liability to any damage you charge what is due?? I need this money and you haven’t refunded it to my account yet. Await you reply. Thank you.
