As expected The Plaza Hotel is more at the cheap and cheerful end of the scale. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was quiet and noneventful. The location was great, only a short walk to Rundell Mall, the train station and tram stops. The central markets, and nearby gyms if you're chasing a workout, are only a few minutes walk away. Heaps of eateries and 24 hour convenience stores nearby. The room itself is tired and worn, the beds could do with an upgrade, but both the room and bathroom appeared to be clean. My room was quiet being in the rear part of the hotel. I spent most my time out and about, using the room as just a base to sleep and shower so it served my needs there, but if you like the luxuries of a modern hotel then this won't be for you. Just be mindful that there is no wifi in the hotel so if you need to use a laptop like I did you might have to use your phone as a mobile hotspot. All in all, it is what is, it's not pretentious. As a solo traveller it was fine, but I'd go elsewhere if you're looking for family accommodation.
