“Right across from Southern Cross Station, the location is undeniably convenient, and the heritage-listed building adds a layer of vintage charm. However, reports of uncomfortable beds and malfunctioning air conditioning raise concerns about the quality of the stay; therefore, while the location and building's character are appealing, potential guests should consider recent feedback. A balanced approach might be prudent before booking.”
