Ratings and reviews
2.5 / 5.0
Really friendly check-in, check-out staff at reception. I have stayed there many times for its proximity to Central Station and the light rail and, unlike at a lot of more "up-market" hotels, I have never had to wait for a room if I have arrived before check-in time. It's always clean and comfortable, there are mugs not cups for your drinks, and good television coverage (none of this having to stream TV channels from your own device). My only minor gripe is that my in-room safe was at.
the bottom of the wardrobe - a bit hard to access for those of us of a certain age and anyone with limited mobility.

The bed was old and uncomfortable. The room was very small. There were no comfortable chairs anywhere in the hotel. No microwave. Small refrigerator on the floor. Why do hotels put small refrigerators on the floor??? There is a nice guest laundry but the staff would not provide coins for the laundry machines.

Much better than I expected and very pleased with the early availability of my room, friendliness of all staff, good breakfast offer in the restaurant and a busy public bar downstairs.
Lovely old-world feel in the downstairs lobby area. I chose a small room with no housekeeping, but it was more than comfortable with a spacious bathroom and the ability to replenish items from reception.
Two lifts meant a speedy ride (I was on 6th floor) and very quiet (a request). Also had dinner in the restaurant one of the evenings and will consider a return on my next trip to Sydney.
Superbly located about a 7-minute walk from Central Station, plus a tram stop across the street.

Firstly, the best location, excellent staff, clean enough but air con rattled so much we thought it would fall out of the ceiling. We turned it off and just used the ceiling fan whic was very quiet and adequate.
The pictures of the rooms while booking are quite missleading as rooms are smaller than they look.
Also the noise at night from outside (some air intake fan/blower) was quite loud. It was a good job we were absolutly exausted and got some good sleep desipite this noise.
Requires some maint like the shower door doesnt close fully, which is the reason the bathroom door has serious water damage at the the bottom.
If it wasn't for the outside noise we would possibly stay here again as the price was reasonable. More like a 3 star hotel than is 4 star rating.
Our thanks to the very helpful staff and quick check-in

We have stayed here many times but the last two times have not been up to standard. The location suits but the last two stays the rooms have not been clean and the bedding consisted of sheets with a very old worn brown blanket. The standard has definitely slipped. We will be looking for somewhere else to stay.

Situated in a good location for transport, shopping, restaurants and places to visit.
The hotel was clean, very nice staff. Rooms were small but very comfortable, my only complaint would be that the water pressure in the shower was terrible.
