Nothing fancy, but this has to be the most affordable accommodation in the area (that isn't a hostel). Having all of Newtown on your doorstep is worth the price alone.

Great location. Right near excellent restaurants, cafes, amenities, and quirky shops. The room and adjoining bathroom were good, does the job for what you need if you plan on spending the majority of your time out and about. However, the lack of storage is difficult if you plan to stay longer than a night or two. The staff are friendly and very helpful! A fun/weird experience was that from our balcony window we could see a neighbouring cat use a nearby tin roof to sunbake and as a toilet.

Good location and a good price. Room was basic with a few minor issues - no power point on the bench for the kettle. Staff were friendly and helpful when required. If you are driving there but not needing to use your car often there is unrestricted parking available in nearby side streets although I had to drive around for a while before I found a spot.

The property was clean. Towels were changed every day. In our room there was no where to hang our towels as the rail was broken and there wasn't any where to hang clothes. The water was very hot for the shower but you had to run the water for some minutes to get it. Free coffee was available in reception area and the people working were very friendly. Great location on King St as the property is in between 2 train stations Newtown & St.Peters. Bus 370 was at our front door to Coogee and bus 352 to Bondi. Plenty of restaurants in the Street. As seniors we were able to have an opal card costing $2.50 to travel on bus, train and ferries 24 hours. For the price of the hotel we would definitely stay again.
