The room was very clean But when I rang about the remote not working didn't get a reply. Discovered later there was no battery in the remote. No wonder it didn't work.
Their guests were very inconsiderate making lots of noise around 10 and then at 12.45am . 10 hot points in the room but no USB . I forgot to take my adapter !
Check in Staff were very pleasant.

I found this place to be a little under average unfortunately. While I slept well in the end, there was a lot of noise from other rooms, people yelling, children playing at 11pm (It was a Thursday) and there was a man with a bulldog walking around my floor which made me nervous. Also there was a wide open door at all times to an external staircase which accessed the carpark however its very high, steep and unsafe so I question it being used at all
Parnell Pines is in a lovely part of town close to the railway station. The reception person went out of her way to help me, as my phone wasn’t working, to order me a taxi and rang me at 6.30am to tell me the taxi was outside!! So kind. There is a small restaurant next door selling Indian Street food snacks which is worth a visit but if that doesn’t appeal there are many bars and restaurants along the street.
Very convenient hotel for the railway - would recommend.

Average, a 2 to 3 star property. No aircon, noisy quite dated, more like a hostel style property.

The lack of parking on the premises was an issue. Had to park 2ks away due to no parks available on the road.
Obviously a very old motel renamed a hotel. Fixtures broken or missing, no AC, noisy, dirty.
Bed was clean, uncomfortable; consumables (sheets, towels, to, etc) we’re good.
The cafe out the front is closed down now and there is no proper reception area but the place was nice and clean, surprisingly quiet, beds were comfortable etc. Overall very happy with our stay. They offered car parks but it was incredibly cramped, some of the car parks available would require about a 15-point turn to manoeuvre in or out of. Seemed like a lot more effort than it would be worth, but there is plenty of street and nearby parking.
Good service ..great room
Affordable ..easy parking
Dinning ..etc

Was a nice little motel. Unfortunately the cafe was shut down, and the parking was terrible. No kitchen either.
The most disgusting place we have ever stayed. So filthy, the whole place stunk. The room was so small you could barely move. Had to ask for cups cloths pillows teaspoon etc as only one of everything. This is more of a backpackers accommodation .
Walls are like paper. Bed was so hard we might of well slept on the floor.
Really wish we had asked to view the room before we paid as first appearances said it all. Nothing like the photos at all !!!!
Missing smoke protectors & some basic utensils for longish stays.

Clean, comfortable beds, convenient.
The kitchen is very poor, with no dishcloth, plates or utensils.. No restaurant either, but closed due to covid I guess.

The hotel is part of the same building that was an emergency housing motel - car park usage was never considered as right next door to the motel .
Room was well-worn & I didn’t think good value for money .
I liked the location
I didn't like the small, cold room. There was no heat pump to keep the room warm. Also it was noisy when people were going down the hallway.

Wireless internet was poor in my room and the TV didn't work.
The location is great - right in the Center of Parnell. However the property is old, tired and the rooms are minuscule, bad mattresses that need replacing, appalling ‘water saving’ shower heads - so as long as you like a steam shower and not a wetting shower I guess it’s fine, bathrooms a less than tiny with no room around sink to put ANYTHING, one spare pillow only and the two that were on the bed were hard and horrible....not a pleasant stay sorry to say. Would not stay again and would not be recommending to anyone I liked!
