As a budget hotel, good value. Near Chinatown, some distance from the major city locations and harbour; you will need to use buses and suburbion trains. Breakfasts are box meals obtainable from reception but plenty of places to eat simply within walking distance. Clean and reasonable shower room. Laundry facilities plus a nice sitting area with simple cooking facilities. More

Staff were very accommodating and friendly. The hotel is situated in a good location and kept very clean. The room was on the smaller side but had everything I needed and was very reasonable for the price I paid. It is now my hotel of choice for my regular trips to Sydney. More

This is a hard review to make because I can't find fault in the hotel but I can find fault in the nightclub downstairs. The hotel itself is brilliant, really clean, gorgeous decor, helpful friendly staff, amazing location and great value for money. The one catch is the 'doof doof' music from the nightclub downstairs that made sleeping difficult. We... More

Its an old building, done up all nice and new with a kinda of homey feel still. The room was nice and clean, a little tight for space but we didnt really spend much time in the room. Good location in the City and close to the airport. More

This hotel ticked all my boxes - cheap, clean, comfy beds and a convenient location near Darling Harbour and Chinatown, a 5 min walk from Central Station to take advantage of the airport train and 30 seconds walk from the free city circular shuttle bus.

A tiny room barely big enough to fit 2 adults plus suitcases comfortably. Its only redeeming feature was the excellent shower it had. Air con was rather smelly when in use. We were on the 1st floor and needed earplugs to sleep as it is above a bar- Friday night disco thudded through the floor. Would not recommend this hotel... More
