"Had a great time at highfield! It was a super convenient location so close to central and the train stations, and it was incredible affordable for the private room that we stayed in. The staff is super nice and very accomodating to late check ins and room attending requests. It was as quiet as you can expect for a inner city room, but was super clean and comfortable. Definitely not the biggest space and the lack of an elevator could be annoying at the end of a long day but I would absolutely...

Staff were friendly and there is a cafe and restaurant on site which is nice to have. The bar wasn’t open at 10pm on a Saturday night which was a bit disappointing as we didn’t want to have to go to a bar in kings cross. There wasn’t any parking available for us as it was booked out which resulted in us having to pay $90 in a parking station nearby. I also think...
