Nice and close to central station, beds confortable, lifts are slow and no clear direction to take stairs as an alternative. Had room refreshed daily but did not replenish some of the towels etc so had to ask from them which took a while to bring up to the room, minor things and woud definately stay again.

It was very close to public transport and shops near by. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It was at times a little noisy on the street, but overall we had a very pleasant stay. I felt the lifts were a bit slow which was the only drawback for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location - only had to take the T8 line from the airport to Central Station. Everywhere else was walkable (Hyde Park, Australian Museum, Chinatown). Hotel also had good breakfast and very hospitable staff that allowed us to store our luggages while we waited for our flight.

Usually a great central location

Conveniently located hotel. Close to Central and in Surry Hills. Disappointed that I didn’t get the welcome drink for two upon arrival, it was only for one. Even more disappointed at checkout, waited in line for 15mins, had two people who arrived after me served before me. I had a flight to catch so had to leave. Contacted the hotel for my invoice a few days later and they failed to send me the invoice. The service is normally better than this, as I’ve stayed here many times.

Perfect location. Just 3 minutes from Central station and you can go anywhere in Sydney. Facility is clean and comfortable. Kind hotel staffs. Adjoing restaurant & beer bar is also excellent with its craft beer and Australian local wines. The only thing I need to mention is that we have to hear the noise from the busy roads around the hotel early in the morning. Except for that, perfect place for every tourist in Sydney.

Excellent stay, really convenient and would stay again but the little black coffee sachet in my room was the worst hotel coffee I’ve ever tried. Bring your own coffee.
