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.

Extremely Disappointed – Misleading Information and No Accountability I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with this property was unacceptable. Prior to booking, I contacted the hotel and was assured that street parking would be available. This was a critical factor in my decision to stay here, as I was traveling with luggage and needed nearby access. When I arrived, there was absolutely no street parking available within walking distance of the property. I drove around for an extended period with no success. This made the property completely inaccessible to me. Despite explaining the situation and requesting a refund, I was told the booking was non-refundable and no exceptions would be made, even though the issue stemmed from false information provided by the property itself. As a result, I was forced to scramble to find last-minute emergency accommodation, at my own expense. This experience was incredibly stressful and disappointing. I expected more accountability and basic honesty from a wotif provider. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

Property not wheelchair friendly! Couldn't check in when I arrived after travelling via train and exhausted. When I did come back, still couldn't check in as staff were on their "lunch break". not safe to use kettle in the room due to lack of power points. when I did finally get to lay down for a rest, workman was using a damn power saw outside my window. Had to share a bathroom with the whole floor!

Given the price tag, it is in my opinion a perfect choice! The room is small, but had all we needed, including a mini balcony and a bathroom with window! Only mood killer: the lady at reception when we checked in. We knew we were too early, but felt treated like invaders and an inconvenience, just because we asked, if we could leave the bags, till check in time. Very unfriendly in all she said. All other staff were very friendly and welcoming!
