7.8/10 Good! (1,002 reviews)
I had a comfortable 3-night stay at this hotel. The room was clean and quiet, and the staff were very friendly, especially Jennifer. It’s so close to Southern Cross that I could go everywhere easily. Would definitely stay here again!

8.2/10 Very Good! (330 reviews)
The view from our room was fantastic One issue was the bathrooms flooded after each shower. Drier did not work well to dry floor mats. We paid money to open the other bathroom only to find it very dirty and dusty. The toilet was not cleaned, the drawers to basin had water marks on them. Dust everywhere Needs more bin liners for all bins. Apart from that it was great. Thank u

How do I get a cheap travel package to Research?
One of the easiest ways to save money (and time) is to combine your bookings with Expedia. Hotels, flights, activities and rental cars — we've got everything you need.

How far in advance should I book my Research holiday?
It depends on the air carrier, but you can usually look up international fares on Expedia up to 12 months in advance. While it's generally recommended to book ahead of time, lucky travellers will sometimes nab a cheaper seat just weeks prior to the date of departure.
What does an Expedia Research travel package include?
That depends on what you want. If you're travelling alone, you might decide to combine flights and hotels. Bringing the whole crew to Research? A travel package including flights, hotels and rental cars might be a better fit. Expedia gives you the freedom and flexibility to customize your travel package.

You can. We get that even the best-laid plans can fail, so we're happy to help if you have to make changes to your Research holiday package. It may be possible to change or cancel your itinerary for free if you've booked within 24 hours. Your hotel, airline or car rental company may charge you a fee if you booked more than 24 hours ago. Visit our Customer Service Portal for more information. Also, be sure to check your itinerary for the finer details on change fees.
