We felt the pictures online were not the same as those we actually ended up with. We had been recommended this by a friend, and were disappointed. There were no extra blankets, pillows, or even a chair and small table to put things on and have one of the 3 booked guests to sit on, aside from their bed.

It does not look ANYTHING like the picture! At least not from the front! There was no-one there - they operate it remotely. The entrance hallway smelled old and musty. The bathroom needed a good clean / renovation. The bathroom door didn’t fit properly so you had to slam it to get it to close. The extractor fan and several lights didn’t work. The net curtains and room in general needed a good clean. As we went in the room in mid afternoon the curtains were all closed, not inviting. The beds were very soft, but surprisingly I slept well. It was cheap and very close to bars and restaurants.

I booked a Budget SINGLE bed ROOM in the Lodge: The K/S bed was very comfortable, and the linen fresh & clean: Own bathroom was a huge PLUS, and it was very adequate. Great shower: A small fridge & electric jug was nice to have: Some basic cutlery would be helpful. Only one teaspoon provided: A bowl for cereal would be helpful: A glass & mug provided, but mug had chip on rim: The cleanliness of room and bathroom could be a lot better. I used many Anti-bacterial Wipes and I left both rooms far cleaner than I found them:

Terrible service
Bad service. Had to pay for parking even though it's not a hotel. Wasn't told that only credit cards are accepted, and that Debit Visas would be declined which is the most bizarre thing I've experienced as I pre-paid for the room with it. We paid cash and they didn't even have change.

I liked the proximity to restaurants/cafes/venues. I liked the quietness and the very comfortable bed. Very convenient & safe parking for an additional payment of $15. The handwash/bodywash/shampoo would be preferable in pump action containers. The present ones were hopeless.

the photo shown on adverts is not really the lodge, it is the house at the back of the main building. This building is old and in need of serious renovation. .All the linen was very good and clean. I got the cheapest unit I could find as I was on my own and only needed a bed to sleep in for a few hours. So it served its purpose.

Room did not look like image - dark and pokey and absolutely no ventilation in building or room which had jammed windows. 2 thin pillows on bed. Wifi not reliable- rang duty manager twice- no one in reception from around 6 pm so no one to help as we wanted to change to a bigger room. (probably owner) who passed the buck. Poor security as outer corridors open and accessible to the public all night. Yucky hair behind loo, no hand soap- we did not use the shower as it looked yuck. Would rather stay in a clean safe youth hostel.

We did not stay here and would like our money back. The man who could not speak English showed me three rooms to choose from all of which we very dirty. Scuffs on every wall, carpets ripped and not vacuumed. Each spa bath had stains, scuffs one had paint splatters all over the bottom. Other had dirt. One rooms bed spread had stains on it. I took some photos as evidence. My children age 6 and 4 wanted to go home immediately after being very exciting about a night in the city having a mini holiday. Very disappointed, disgusted it was horrid. I would like a full refund as we did not stay and told the host all of the above. Please make contact to discuss this further.

Lacking Security
Conviently located for St Janes theatre but security totally lacking. Although a dead lock on front door off the street, no key or swipe card provided. Same with smoke door on ground floor so anyone can walk in off the street and have access to rooms. It looked like the door to my room had an attempt at crowbar entry! No checkin staff available. There was a compressor/pump that "kicked in" regularly throughout the night. Very noisy. Drafty room with just a sheet and light duvet on the bed. I slept in my clothes to keep warm.
