Great walk to the Westfield in Belconnen and otherwise an easy access to scooters to get where you want to go, good ol' uni students in a share dorm so if you're an old codger that likes quiet then you won't want to be here, because uni students lol Was a bit annoyed with the boom gates to get in/out of the parking lot as it never worked and needed to ring the office to be let in/out, but otherwise not shabby, Hella comfy bed

The reception staff were not helpful at all in giving directions to unit at all. Spent about 30 minutes trying to find it and asked a few other people around whole also could not read the map given to us by reception. All the reception girl would say was "It's sooo easyyyy" with no help. Wont be going back there again

Good beds, clean, spacious cupboard, cooking facilities, good value. The two bathrooms could be a bottle-neck if all 5 bedrooms rooms were occupied. The paid parking spaces are TINY (in carpark1). You risk damaging adjacent cars when opening doors.

Overall this is good value for money place located close to the AIS. The property was clean but worn. Reception was friendly and efficient, quick to respond to our request for the right amount of towels. Short walk to food, convenience store and a uni bar. About a 20 minute drive from city centre. We would stay here again.
