Room was very tired and in need for a renovation. Room was on a good location but that was about it, definitely not clean. Was told to send message when we were on our way to check in and would be met in foyer to check in and when we did no answer and was left waiting 20mins after check-in time before someone turned up

Cosy and comfortable stay in great part of town..

City Tempo was a nice stay, is peaceful there although I've stated there before and the room I chose this time was substantially smaller than the last in I was in which was still okay as was cost. Decor a little dated but was still working well when all factorscinsidered. Tha place was really clean on arrival and s in a busy but still great part of town with Flagstaff gardens ablock away, a Woolies directly opposite with an abundance of food options everywhere near by and the Vic market a block or so away as well..

6/10 Good

I would probably rate this a 3.5 stars. It was a pretty nice comfy property, great location, mostly clean and I received a nice welcome upon my arrival. Not really sure if I would return though but it wasn’t too terrible. Cons / Room for Improvement: - the hallway out of the lift on level 7 was pretty stinky for some reason. It was not really pleasant to return to but at least the smell doesn’t seep into the room itself. The room itself was fine. - one of the provided towels in the bathroom had a weird yellow stain on it so I didn’t use it after I noticed that. - following on from this, just feeling a bit questionable on the cleanliness, not sure about the bed but I woke up feeling itchy and uncomfortable about if it was due to the bedsheets… - I was advised via Expedia messages that I would receive instructions 24 hours prior about meeting the owner to pick up the keys upon arrival but I hadn’t received any information so I had to reach out to them to obtain the meeting details. Luckily they replied promptly but next time could be a bit more organised. Thank you for the stay.
