I booked into this hotel because it was 2 doors away from my family whom I was visiting . I thought at $99 for a double it would be very , very basic but it was cleaner and bigger than some of the more expensive rooms I have stayed at in Sydney. Two small singles pushed together for a king... More

The room was clean and tidy ,the 3 flights of stairs we had to carry our bags up was a bit much. The staff were very friendly and helpful, I left some clothes behind which they posted very promptly to me .It is close to the central railway station which we found very convenient. The local pub down the road... More

The room we stayed in was meant to be a queen bed but it was just two incredibly hard singles mattresses pushed together. We were given 4 pillows and all of them were hard and one filled with paper. When I went to have a shower it obviously hadn't been cleaned because there was hair still on the shower walls... More

I was bit frustrated when I see the hotel out side, because I was with my girlfriend. But this advice from me “don’t get nervous by seeing hotel from outside”. I also though “oh how I would be nice front of road, with noises for me and my girlfriend”. Inside is quite calm. My girlfriend credited me it was the... More

In four weeks in Australia, this was the worst hotel that I experienced. I wish I had read all the reviews before I booked. As a solo traveller, it was not particularly cheap. The location was fairly close to the railway which is why I booked it.However the area was very dark at night & did not feel very safe.... More

Thank you for your feedback. I was disheartened to read your comments regarding your stay at our hotel. While we are located on only a short walk from Central Station we are also lucky enough to be situated in a residential area. This means there is a little less foot traffic but I can assure you it is a safe... More

When we arrived we were a bit daunted by the exterior appearence but don't be put off. The apartment was perfect for our stay. It was well equiped with a small balcony. The room was spacious, clean and quiet even though we were on the front. The hotel was very convenient for all attractions. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Stayed here for a weekend while visiting Sydney for the start of the NRL season. Conveniently placed with easy access to transport. The rooms and facilities are neat and tidy and there was very little noise or disturbances to deal with.
