The location was fantastic a three minute walk from railway station to hotel and the light rail stop was virtually across the road. Getting around the city was a breeze.
The meals were great, good value as was the bar and service was very good.

Location
Pillows felt like it was just rocks stuffed inside of the cases, bed lumpy. Shower did not appear very clean brown stains on the floor, black spots through the grout and tiles. Could hear people clearly from the street like the windows were open but they weren’t nor could they be. Staff at check in and departure were rude especially when we didn’t know which room they stored our bags in(we dropped them off before check in and didn’t see where they were put, they were tagged and then we were told “just leave” same when we checked out early but needed to leave the bags for a bit). Lifts and stair made it seem like a maze, looks like an updated building with a lot of old stuff left behind, two very hotels squashed into one

Our initial room was very noisy with school students nearby on same floor. We were moved promptly. Our bags were also stored on our early arrival from overseas and again on our departure by bus. Very helpful staff.
4 pillows would be good. But overall you get what you pay for here.

My husband and I have stayed there on numerous occasions and the beds have been comfortable for us, location is excellent for us and the rooms have no trouble at all.
Only once did we find we had no bath mat in the shower which was disappointing but we over came that as we were only there for the one night

Great value breakfast. So close to Central station, light rail & buses. Paddy's Market & Chinatown close by also. Plenty of places to eat, including at the hotel itself.
Personally I thought the bed could do with an upgrade. Probably OK for others.
Air con difficult to keep on required temperature.

Room needs updating.
4.5 / 5.0
Fantastic location: a stone's throw to the light rail and not much further to Central Station. Close to heaps of restaurants and convenience stores. However, it was really quiet. The staff are efficient and friendly. The art deco design is gorgeous.
The room temperature seemed to be centrally controlled and I don't like that.

Close proximity to work
Stayed in an adjoining room & could hear my neighbours through the closed door. Not good when I needed to sleep & rest fir work the next day.
The larger pillow smelt like it hadn’t been washed or needed a new one. It smelt strongly of human odour.

I have stayed in this hotel prior to this visit. It is great value for money and so convenient for transport to any part of the city. Would not stay anywhere else. Staff are great and helpful and room has all the facilities one requires.
Can’t think of anything as far as I am concerned.

The location is fantastic. Walking distance to major tourist attractions like darling harbor, opera house, sydney eye, and all the major markets.
Washroom was terrible, very small and suffocating. Even the quality of water in the shower was not upto standards.

Das Zimmer war klein aber sauber, Frühstück konnte man dazubuchen und war reichhaltig und sehr gut.
Die Betten waren ok. Die Lage sehr gut, direkt neben div. Haltestellen, nicht weit vom Bahnhof entfernt. Mit der Straßenbahn war der Hafen gut zu erreichen.
