Comfortable bed good air conditioning. The bathroom was fine but the shower wasn't draining properly. I had to ask the cleaner to use drano to clear it. The room had small cockroaches which are common in Sydney CBD. The hotel is a late night poker machine venue, so a lot of dodgy people about. I don 't think I would stay there again

Close to transport, the room was clean, neat and tidy. However it was way overpriced for what it was; a pub room on the corner of a noisy tram line.

We loved having the Central station just a few steps away. It allowed us to maneuver through Sydney and its outskirts very easily. The rooms are clean and staff is great. This place has everything you need and more.
