This would be the most disgustingingly dirty place we have ever stayed in.
The positives; Housekeeping had done the best with what they were given.
The shower had excellent pressure.
The negatives;
Curtains were stained and smelled putrid.
windows were absolutely filthy with 2 bird poo covered air-conditioning units at the open window and drug paraphernalia and pooh on the ledge beneath the window made a dreadful smell. The pidgeons were perched there.
The blanket supplied was disgusting, it was so old and stained.
No exhaust for shower steam.
Only one mug and one tiny cup.
pillows were so flat and old, had to ask for extra.
No sink plug ( why do places not supply them ?)
We will NEVER stay here again and strongly recommend fellow travelers look elsewhere until the owner cleans the place up.
This was a budget property and I think basically it was as expected for the price point. I really didn't like the lack of ventilation, but could live with it. The bed was a bit hard and pillows were really cheap and terrible. But on the good its a budget stay, the room was big and it was very clean, good size fridge and the aircon worked

They only clean the room every 3 days, breakfast is continental. It's cheap and central to everything
The rooms were very dirty and did not look like they had been cleaned. There was hair throughout the bathrooms and the floors had not been cleaned. I did not feel safe staying in the hotel as there were people coming and going at all hours of the night and day. I ended up leaving after only staying 1 night and stayed elsewhere. I do not recommend this property to anyone.
Dear Hides Hotel!
I checked out 5 days ago and the 100 AUD you took out from my account as “block pre authotization garanteed” isn’t yet back in my account!!
To take the money out took 5 seconds!!! To refund it back?? How many days you need??
Why don’t you take just one dollar (like the hotel I am now in Sydney) and in case any liability to any damage you charge what is due??
I need this money and you haven’t refunded it to my account yet.
Await you reply.
Thank you.
Parking costs extra and is a little tricky but otherwise the hotel was in a great location, had a great balcony to enjoy, and the rooms were nice. If I had it to do over I would not have gotten a rental car and just walked - the location allows for that.

Liked: Amenities
Our experience were not so good, at midnight other rooms were in partys and we can't rest, the staff was not working at this time, nobody was there.
Never they cleaned our room, the have a policy about clean rooms only after 3 days staying there; we were 5 nights and they never did it.
One person of the staff in the morning wasn't very friendly. Bad look.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The service was so bad and few times asked for room service they told me any three days we cleaning even not changed the cup or glass we must washed by self . Totally I wasn’t happy .
Rude money hungry staff with no empathy just a cash register. Rooms like prison cells literally with no windows. Nothing to do at the venue other than a dusty boring balcony, so you can’t even chill.
