The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant.
The amenities were extremely basic with only a tube of shampoo/conditioner plus a 4cm square of soap provided to the room per person.
The toilet cistern slowly ran water continuously.
The entire Hotel requires renovating and repainting.
However, it was suitable for a short stay, with the convenience of being in the middle of the City.

Room was not very clean; there was old dust on the TV and carpet could do with a wash. The bathroom sink tap was leaking. There was a grumpy, snappy staff in the evening but a lovely, friendly one in the morning. The location and price were the best features as it's right in the city centre. There's no parking but we didn't need one.

Hard to get more central than this, a stones throw away from everything in the city. The bed was comfortable and the facilities were clean, it's not the most glamorous but for the price and location everything was great. The staff were very kind to let us check in early as our room was ready also.

I was unable to stay at this hotel. When I entered the room there were large cockroaches scurrying from under the bed. In addition, I did not feel safe there. I had prepaid for two nights and asked for one night to be reimbursed but have nit received a refund. It was a terrible experience.

The location is great close to Hay St. and Murray St. malls. The room smelt smoky but seemed clean otherwise. The carpet throughout the hotel was worn and torn. Outside the building felt a little rundown with several vacant spaces nearby and homeless people sleeping around on the streets. The staff were friendly and helpful. I found I could hear people talking at night and people moving around which kept me awake but otherwise it was quiet.

We often stay at the criterion,as its convenient when needing an often late stay before flying out to work the next day. The 11am check out works well for us. The rooms are nothing flash but always clean and comfortable enough. The only thing I'd say is pack your ear plugs because it can be a little noisy


stay over after flying interstate back to work

We walked in and straight out. There was black mold on the ceiling in reception. Everything was battered. It did not look like the pictures on the advertisement. I have never been so horrified or embarrassed that I had booked this place. They did give me my deposit back straight away. I can see why they make the booking non refundable because it is nothing like what is advertised. I bet this does not appear in the ratings

Criterion is in a really good position. Close to central city shops restaurants, cafe's etc.
We use it as a late stay over flying interstate for work but its in a great spot. Has 24hr checkin. 11am checkout. It all works really well for us. Its a little noisy at times is all id say but overall good value accommodation.

Affordable accommodation

We often stay at the criterion because its reasonably priced and convenient with its 24hr checkin. We arrived very late due to major delays on our flights. Check-In is quick. The desk is manned 24hrs .11am check out suits us too. We had a flight the next day. Overall, its nothing fancy and can be a little noisy but an affordable place to rest your head for 1 night.

Great location right near Hay street Mall but property condition was pretty poor.

Also the need for a $250 deposit was unusually high for what was a very basic room and saying it would take a long period of time before release was a shock.

Positive shower was hot towels and sheets were clean but some other areas needed attention
