"Great price and a nicely sized room with a resort or student village style layout, featuring separate rooms spread across a large property. It wasn’t as bad as some of the negative reviews suggested, although cleanliness could definitely be improved. While it’s not centrally located in Canberra, the city is relatively small, and it’s a convenient option if you’re driving. Overall, I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, relaxing, and decent place to stay without spending too much."
