The accommodation is pretty basic and fairly run down. Very comfortable beds. The only thing we really didn't like was how dirty the room and bathroom were. There were still hairs on the floor from the previous occupants and it looked like the room never really gets a deep cleaning. The latch inside the bathroom door was broken, there was no way to turn off the noisy fan in the bathroom that was on 24/7. Other than that, it's convenient, within walkable distance from all the Darling Harbour amenities and CBD and surprisingly quiet.

One stay is enough

The location is great for transportation. The photos on line are very nice. The hotel is a dump. Marginal maintenance and absolutely minimum facilities. The bartenders that run the place are really helpful and friendly people.

Nice place to stay but can get noisy.

Nice place to stay and very conveniently located near to Darling Harbour. But room is a bit dated, especially the bathroom and place can get noisy even late into the night.

Clean and comfortable. If you are noise sensitive, take earplugs. Road is very busy and whilst the music in the pub wasn’t overly loud, you will hear it. Food and drink very reasonable price and tasty. Fantastic service.
