Clean and Cozy and Cheap and Cheerful. We found it value-for-money - excellent location for us (next to train / bus / tram stations); well within our two-person budget. CAVEAT: there is NO elevator, and all rooms are up at least one flight of stairs (others up two or three). ok for us, as we are fit and did not have a lot of baggage this time.

Cheapest room I could find in central Sydney, can’t complain. Clean sheets and en-suite. Well located next to central for the day trips I had to take and the area is well lit for coming back at night. Good for solo traveller. Reception staff kindly allowed me to store my bags and use the bathroom to get changed when I arrived early in the day.

Unfortunately , the hotel guest above my room was noisy between 22:00-midnight then 07:00-08:00. I called reception on two separate occasions. In hind-site, I should of asked to move rooms after night one. I believe the staff could have monitored room 37's guest behaviour instead of me contacting reception. I am a sleep deprived guest. the corridors could have improved noise reduction. Showers need a facelift.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The general treatment towards guests is like a charity-free-work instead of a consumer who pays for a service. Although staff attend your requests, it is highly noticeable the inconvenience for supporting the guest’s need, resulting in very poor outcomes. It is extremely expensive considering the premises, its functionality and cleanliness. Apart for making the bed (fresh linen) and “kindof” cleaning the sink/toilet, the accumulated dust in walls, windows, carpets, floors and furniture show the poor sanitation in rooms and common areas.

Dirty sheets;no milk with tea/coffee; only a sink as the basin i.e. shaving, handwashing post toilet and dish washing in the same basin; shower so close to toilet, its spray collected under toilet and meant exited shower onto toilet; only one soap and one towel; housekeeping only once in three nights despite reception saying it is daily and did not make bed; very noisy with thin walls so could hear neighbours and movement above; exiting the hotel on day 2 and I was met by police coming in (no member of staff with them); people living in the hotel, not guests, attract the police attending; on day 1, laundry from hotel strewn across footpath.

It was super easy to get around with this as home base. It was also really nice to have a sink in the room. AC was delightful after a long day outside in the sun. Very easy to find if you are arriving at the Central Station & you basically walk straight up the main street to get to the main tourist spots. Rooms were older, but clean and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the mattress. Glad they also included a "Do Not Disturb" sign for those days you're having a nap or something & don't need anything done.
