not even a bedside light, very noisy, rooms old and could do with a basic renovation, good location though, close to everything including a supermarket

The location is fantastic however the room smelt damp and mouldy and the other guests seemed pretty dodgy.

Handy to central station

Room a bit run down. Paint peeling, bathroom vanity rotting around the base. Only one blanket between 2 beds, otherwise only a sheet?

Worst ever.

Dirty, smelled rank. It was cheap, but they couldn't pay me to stay there again.

Best Location In Sydney!

We loved staying here! The cafe attached to the motel is sunny in the morning and makes delicious $5 bacon and egg sandwiches. The location is beautiful. The motel is very run down, but very clean, and keeps the price down!

Appalling

Pros: The bed was comfortable
Cons: A total renovation job in needed for this place
Location: The location was good, close to the city, lots of bars and restaurants nearby
In Sydney for a conference, booked for 2 nights. When I arrived I was given a room key and some vague directions as to how to find it. Lugged my suitcase up a flight of stairs, no offer to help and no lift. As soon as I opened the door I could smell the mould. Stained carpet, cracked and broken tiles in the bathroom, one cupboard door hanging off in the bathroom. The air conditioner appeared to switch on but made no discernible difference to the temperature of the room. I had to sleep with the balcony door open wide all night to try and get rid of the smell. I checked out the next morning unable to face another night.

Banged up but close to everything

This hotel is in need of some paint and new fittings. However the room was quiet at night and the beds good. Close to everything.

Close to amenities

Bathroom was a bit tired, but everything was clean and comfortable. 12 minute walk to central station, heaps of cafes and several pubs a short walk away.

Good location, good price, friendly staff

Pros: Price, location, staff, balcony
Cons: The rooms could do with an update.
Good location, good price, friendly staff, the hotel is outdated and not super clean, heat pump didn't work in room. Overall happy with our stay, would stay again in the future. Nice balcony, comfortable beds, clean sheets and towels.
