If you're really desperate to save money during your stay in Sydney, then go to this place - otherwise, stay away! The room was small, the bed hard, the shared bathroom was inconvenient, and there was a giant cockroach in the room when I entered. The "hotel" is actually a bunch of old rooms on top of a pub; the... More

Dont expect to sleep if you stay here around May 2013, I paid for 6 nights and only stayed for 5 nights because every night except Sunday construction work close to the building would start around 10pm and go till 1am. This caused many sleepless nights. The hotel is what you would expect for $50 in Sydney CBD, dank and... More

We stayed 2 nights and yes we were awoken by the road works below on Hunter Street, but this is out of the Hotels control. We really enjoyed our stay and the Pub meals, including the Specials are really lovely and quite affordable (best steak meal we've had). Drinks are reasonably priced, and the staff are very very nice and... More

This place is in a top CBD location , clean beds, shares bathrooms and linen. The rooms were not in good shape ( stained carpet, peeling paint on walls). However you pay for what you get and honestly for $70pn I think it is good value for money . Just don't expect more than the basics. However I wouldn't book... More

Spent the night sleeping in the bathroom - massive roadworks right outside the front door. The only way to get any sleep was to pick up my mattress and put it on the floor of the bathroom down the hall. The really disgusting part... The manager didn't once mention potential noise and conveniently left for the night before it all... More
