Nice central hotel that is very close to the tram line and in amongst all the pubs and restaurants, the hotel itself is a little dated, but it’s perfect for a few days stay in Sydney at a budget price .

Excellent location, close to everything for travellers' needs, even a supermarket, super easy to move from/to the international airport by Airport Link. Staff are very efficient. Nice and cozy room. Breakfast was great and reasonable. If room slippers would be included in your amenity, I will be appreciate it. The only thing was TV sound through the wall during the midnight that woke me up. But still a lovely place to stay and I would come back again.

The staff was very helpful, the room was clean and quiet. The only thing was when we got out of the lift on our floor we had to carry our heavy bags down a half a dozen steps to our room, maybe a ramp in this area would be very much appreciated.

Staff very friendly and helpful however the bed and pillows were very hard and we were unable to open curtains as we looked directly into someone else’s room. This might have been ok for one night but we were there for 3 and very annoying and made some thought could go into this room allocation

The lady at reception was most unwelcoming and not smiling at all. She just demanded my driving licence, and said "Take it out of your wallet" No please or thank you. She was very curt in demanding if the woman with me was staying in the same room, and what was her name. Not a good first impression. The room was clean and everything worked well. Above all, it was quiet. We checked out just before 7am and the man at reception greeted us with a cheerful "good morning", so not all staff are as surly as the receptionist on our arrival.
