A place which has been underrated offering great value for money . The carpet, furniture, bedding , kitchen and various dishes and cups all look like new. The toilet and bathroom are clean, fresh and as good new. The space and layout design make it very comfortable to live in, you won’t want to check out. The front desk staff is friendly , maybe not always sitting there but if you press the button or dial a number, she will quickly appear to serve you.

Extremely disappointing. Photos shown in expedia are certainly not 136 Bealey Avenue. Unsafe electrical sockets, no cabinet for food, no wardrobe for clothes, bed bugs, cleaning product used is highly toxic. Shower door wouldnt close and falls off, extractor fan not working in bathroom, flooring lifting up, no dish cloth, no tea towel, dark room, one window, dull and depressing decor. Owners should disclose on all websites that they provide emergency housing for beneficiaries which we found online after the stay. Grants paid to date should be spent on maintenence, safety and upgrades.

We were disappointed with the fact that we booked and paid extra for a king room and were put into a queen. The owner ended up reimbursing us the difference, but there was no reason why she gave us the wrong room in the first place. The TV wasn't working properly, shower pressure very low. The cleaning staff were so lovely and did their job beautifully.

Great place to put your head down although decent or extra pillows wouldn't go amiss. We put the cushions off the couch underneath the pillows. The microfibe towels were not a winner with us either. But all in all it's in a great location and clean the shower/bathroom is dated but ok. I feel like they are renovating because the carpet was new through out. You can hear some traffic noise but it didn't impact on our sleep. And bonus you're right next to a great Cafe for coffee and or brunch. The cleaning staff were polite and approachable. I would stay here again.

The owner Sharni was very helpful with advice and other assistance. Everything was clean and tidy and room service was efficient each day. We stayed in two rooms on different occasions and found that the rooms facing Bealey Street were very noisy as there is a lot of traffic and many cars have loud exhausts. Rooms facing the rear of the property are much quieter.
