Excellent location for UNSW anff for public transport. Small cosy room with good aircon. But the shower doors didn't close well so the bathoom floor was wet after anyone had a shower.

I loved this property! The room was spacious and clean. This was my first time sharing a bathroom and didnt have high expectations but I was honestly blown away. I never had to wait for the bathroom and the bathroom itself was clean and lush. The only downfall was the rooms are not very sound proof and the parking is extremely tight.

The room was small but suited my purposes. Great location. I stayed 3 nights & while the shared bathroom was between approximately 6 people I believe I never once had to wait to use it & it was always stocked & clean. Great set up!

Beautiful guest house

Check in was a breeze as was parking. We arrived after hours, everything went so smoothly and was just as instructed via email Our ensuite room was spacious, extremely clean and comfortable. The location was excellent for our purpose, and very quiet. The Alison is a beautiful building. Only negatives were nowhere to hang towels in the ensuite, no hand towel provided.

The room was small but alright. The bed sank a bit too much. There was a creepy man standing in front of the hotel at night. The wall and the door are thin. Given the price it was not the best choice but it was OK.
