Staff are welcoming and the hotel is very close to Central Station for train, metro and light rail options. The building and rooms are dated but for a budget option in Sydney, the hotel is good value, especially for a single visitor.

Booked a double room with shared bathroom, 30% off, cost 125Aus. Old place but clean. my room on 3rd floor, no lifts, so that could be an issue. Otherwise good value. Sink, refrigerator in room. Decent size room. old AC worked. Bed just a double. Good value for a cheap overnight right a central station and near light rail.

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.

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.
