Hotel is very conveniently located and good value.
I have been given a very large old fashion room (the hotel is an Art Deco heritage listed building) with enclosed bathroom. Both very clean, a big screen tv and a fridge. The location is awesome, very central and close to the mall and many points of interests. The staff very friendly. It's reasonably priced. Highly recommended

Although the general state of the hotel was quite dated and worn the room was fine, comfy bed, plenty of hot water and secure.
Staff were helpful and courteous whenever I asked a question. Housekeeping staff were friendly and pleasant.
Location was good, walking distance to public transport and shops bars etc
The room was comfortable and benefited from a balcony. Bathroom was clean and toiletries were supplied. Could do with a lick of paint to brighten it up and carpets could do with replacing, but considering the price and location was competitively priced. Staff were very helpful

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
Property very old and in need of maintenance and updating. I think the pricing is a bit high. I've stayed at other hotels approx same price and rooms were much better.
Basic rooms, clean linen daily which was a plus.
Good location. Plenty of nearby cafes for meals.
All good apart from terrible WiFi access. Staff very helpful

Convenient location and safe plus staff very nice. The wifi was good in the room we had this time unlike other previous stays. The bed was not as comfortable though and the only way to turn the tv off was by the PowerPoint.

Liked the “original style”, no modern design or gadgets. Convenient location with respect to transportation, shopping and eateries.
