Really great location, in the heart of the CBD & walking distance to everything. The facilities were comfortable but not resort style. Clean rooms & comfy beds, staff were friendly. Fairly quite for inner city location.

My boyfriend and I stay up in the city frequently and try to not spend too much as he is a student and I am saving. I booked 2 nights at the City Garden Hotel through lastminute.com and paid just over $100 per night for a studio room with a courtyard view.
Well...my courtyad view was a window in the bathroom that had to be held open with a piece of string and the courtyard itself was just a rectangular gap between rooms with bird poo and cobwebs everywhere. The window also looked straight into other guests bedrooms and bathrooms. The only other window was back in the main room but was above our heads. The bathroom was new but the shower was so dirty and digusting that we went and purchased bleech so we wouldn't catch anything. The paint in the bathroom was also peeling off and there were about 100 large mould spots behind the door. The bed was as hard as a rock but not the worst part of the room. The tv was smaller than the average computer screen with cords hanging everywhere and did not have HD channels. The walls were very thin and you could hear other people talking very clearly. We also heard someone having rather loud relations which just topped off our stay. Being young people it seemed to scary to confront the manager to ask for our money back and, not to seem racist, but the reception workers we encounted were both Asains and they do have a stigma around them for being greedy. I didn't want us to be stranded without a place to stay and possably without a refund. I will never ever stay here again and will definalty take action if I happen across another place like this. Also the room was quoted to be between 30 and 40 square meters. We would have been lucky if it were 15 square meters.

Approximate cost: $100 per night
