We stayed in this hotel for just two nights but were happy with our choice. The room was very basic but pretty soundproof and although the bathroom was small, everything was clean. Service was also good. Next door is a cafe where you get a discount (noisy, slow service but ok food). The best part of this hotel is that... More

Absolutely no problems. Not romantic, not exceptional but right on. The staff was friendly and helpful, the WiFi was free and good quality. Everything worked. Breakfast was $AU15 but that is not bad in Sydney. It had all the fresh fruit we could eat, bottomless coffee etc. More

We used the hotel as a stopover on our way from London to Melbourne. Arriving at an unearthly hour on a Sunday morning off a long haul flight, our room was ready and the staff were welcoming and incredibly helpful. Located on a main bus route into CBD and all the main Sydney sites, right on the city sightseeing bus... More

Room had free wi-fi, air con, iron, coffee/tea making facilities, safe, flat screen T.V, fridge and was neat, clean and comfortable. The location is fantastic,... More

Was disappointed with the welcome we received by reception staff Marc & Lizzie. It appeared that we, the customers, were inconveniencing them by asking them to explore the possibility of booking an additional room. When we asked about using the internet, they commented that we 'don't look like we are here to use the internet'. The staff on night duty... More

When the guests arrived we had limited availability and had to juggle other bookings to see if we could find them a room. They were then given the rate and asked if they wished to go ahead and book the room. There is wi-fi in all the hotel’s public areas and guests can access this network free of charge 24... More

We had booked on line for a one night stop over when returning to the UK from New Zealand. The room was indeed small though the bathroom was a fair size. Everything was scrupulously clean and the bed was very comfortable. Reception staff were excellent and went out of their way to help when our airport shuttle failed to turn... More

I spent 1 week in July and then 1 night only in September. The rooms are small but the bed is comfy. If you take a room on Oxford st it could be a little noise but they have triple glass windows. TV and internet access (the latter in the garden facing rooms only). You also get a 10% discount... More

Stayed here based on reviews on here and price. Sydney is quite expensive so I thought I'd try this place. My room was a little small and kind of hot. When you leave the room, the air conditioner turns off and so in the summer in February it was very stuffy when I'd return. The location is not far from... More
