Great central location. The room price reflected the condition. Fan was hanging off the ceiling the aircon was hardly working and super noisy so didnt get much sleep. The place is very tired could do with renovations being done but its in a fantastic central location and cheap compared to other hotels so just depends on what you want for your stay. We were happy to be able to walk to everything.

A great 'stop through' hotel - nothing very special, but for an overnight it's great! Facilities are a bit 'worn' but are clean. One downside - they do not confirm checkout before coming in to clean rooms!

Staff very friendly and efficient. Its an old building but rooms have been updated. Lots of space but could do with a couple chairs in the room. Its the first hotel I have stayed at where there is a charge for luggage storage following check out. Its $6 for a locker.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hides, I could walk to everything within 5-10 mins, including the bus station, wharf, esplanade and night markets. The rooms are very spacious, bed was comfortable, and Woolworths is across the road! My room's big window was frosted, so couldn't see out. Only one small part of the window could be opened, so if this is a problem for you, ask first. Also the lovely pool was "broken" as the staff put it, they need to fix it ASAP. There were a few tiny ants in the bathroom, but all in all, it is fantastic value for money in a very convenient location.

This hotel was just what I needed after traveling abroad and staying in hostels. A private room to myself with a big bed, tv and nice shower. I was able to check in early which is lovely. It was stupid that they make you pay to store your luggage, because I just sat in the lobby with it to avoid that and cluttered up their front space. Close to restaurants and grocery store.
