Frommer's Review

Backpackers and budget travelers frequent this friendly place, next to Kingston's shops and about a 10-minute drive from the city center. Rooms vary, from dorms with four or five beds to modern, simple doubles. Each has a wash basin. There are communal showers and toilets and a courtyard.

Next door is the reasonable Best Western motel, at 27 Dawes St. (tel. 02/6295 2111; http://motelmonaro.bestwestern.com.au). It charges A$135 (US$122/£61) for a double. Apparently, long-suffering parents often park their teenage kids at the lodge and live it up at the motel.

Facilities:
Dining room; bike rental; tour desk; coin-op laundry; Internet facilities; TV room; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
