I have now stayed at this motel twice in the past two months. Given the large number of negative reviews on here, I thought I would wait until my second visit before writing a review. This is a budget motel. There are no frills. This is reflected in the price. My rating is based on my realistic expectations of a... More

The room was clean enough but the bright lights outside the room meant that it was like daylight all night long. It was also very noisy and the wallls were paper thin. The room smelt of air freshener. The car park was scary and there was broken glass everywhere. I realise it was cheap but a few channels on the... More

Having used to great experience in NZ, that was a real shock when we arrived. Horrible location, flithy staircases covered with cobweb. Rooms have NO windows. Air-conditioned but still stuffy. Rooms smell of cigarettes 'cause guests smoke. Looks like a place where a prostitute would take a client. Really dodgy look. DO NOT GO THERE, spent your hard earned cash... More

The entrance to the hotel was dirty, room smelt very strongly of air freshener when we first walked in. Stayed long enough to drop off luggage and on return realised what the the air freshener was covering up - room stank of cigarette smoke! If you're going to the trouble of putting signs up about no smoking and fines for... More

City Edge Motel is accomodation at it's most basic. The rooms are dark and have no windows facing the outside - only an interior hallway. The hallway has hard floors and is two storeys high, meaning sounds echo and most noise will be able to be heard. Not only that, but the interior is lit up at night and this... More

This motel has no redeeming qualties whatsoever. I stayed here for 1 night, checking in late. I went to bed almost right away. The first thing I noticed was the very hard bed, which made it very difficult for me to sleep. Next, the light intrustion from the flourescent lights outside certainly didn't help matters. As others have also mentioned,... More

Not at all bad for the price which is excellent for a hotel so close to the central city. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, and the airconditioner was highly effective which is very important in a heat wave. The continental breakfast was extremely basic - to the extent that I don't really know why they bother. More
