"This is not a hostel. It is a homeless shelter and should not be advertised on Expedia. There are no on site staff to sign you in. It is done via camera and tv. The place is not clean and there are no amenities. The pictures used show a social area with young backpackers but this is definitely how the building is now. "

Tom's Court Hotel

Tom's Court Hotel

8/10 Good
"Good value for money which is why I moved there. Fulfilled all expectations. The hotel looked as though it had been very recently refurbished. It is a little further away from the attractions in North Terrace."
