    steak options
    cozy atmosphere

    Great steak options and cozy atmosphere! I really loved how the staff went out of their way to cook our food late at night. It felt like a treat after a busy day.

    Felt a home here, no reason to complain.

    For a cozy stay, consider asking for a room facing away from the main road to minimize noise at night.

    cozy atmosphere
    shared toilet
    cold room

    the southern cross hotel was a solid choice for us. the place was super clean n cozy. The area is really quiet. the beds were comfy, and we got a good night sleep, even if it was just for one night. the staff were friendly and helpful, making our stay so much better. the pub downstairs had good drinks and food too!

    only downside was that the toilet is shared, which was ok but a bit inconvenient. also, the room was kinda cold, but it warmed up fine once we were in bed.

    unhygienic shared bathroom
    poor internet connectivity
    maintenance issues

    The location is perfect for access to the nearby attractions, with a short walk to public transport. The room was clean with comfortable beds, making for a restful night. the shared bathroom wasn't well-maintained, lacking basic hygiene and amenities. I also encountered issues with the internet connectivity, which was advertised as free but was unreliable during my stay.

    The Southern Cross was a comfortable stay with warm, clean rooms and a cozy atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our experience all the better. The pub downstairs served delicious food and drinks, perfect for winding down after a long day.

    Only downside was having to share the toilet facilities.
