This is an excellent hotel for the price, USD52 or AUD75 per night, twin room. We stayed for 6 nights. The room and bathroom were clean with fresh towels when requested.

He handled our luggage storage and check-in. He was very friendly, efficient, and professional. He even helped me and my husband to book a day trip on the next day, which we hadn't planned before. Despite we asked him to book the tour after 6 pm, we got a phone confirmation at around 9 pm. The trip was fantastic as I wrote on another review in Trip Advisor.|Both my husband and I really enjoyed the...
