Please note: THIS IS DESIGNED SIMILAR TO A COLLEGE CAMPUS, NOT A HOTEL. THAT IS WHY IT IS SO CHEAP! Please do your reasearch. Yes, there are no cups, but I had an easy fix...I used paper cups. OR, use the communal kitchen. (Literally as advertised before you rent the room). Yes, it is $250 for a bond deposit. (Also as advertised). If you look after your room, you get it back. 😉 I paid in cash so I got my money back the day I left.
I do recommend paying cash since everyone is complaining about their bond taking a while to come back with card.
Please also do not blame the reception staff as I have seen them be verbally abused in person because of these reasons. It is not acceptable. They are doing their best. They are just the front men and women, not the owners or management. Treat them with respect.
Seriously guys, I paid $600 for a week stay DURING christmas...LITERALLY CHEAPER THAN MY RENT...How can I complain? This placed is designed to be minimalistic, easy to manage and to be affordable.
