I liked the location. Close to train and light rail. Good privacy on 4th floor. Not ideal sharing a bathroom but no issues really. Didnt realise the restaurant didnt operate on the weekend.

Lovely hotel to stay in. Was quite lively downstairs but we heard nothing from our room. We took our two teens and honestly no dramas staying above the pub with them. Had a few drinks in the bar and the staff were lovely. Wish we hadn’t had so much planned as the bistro and restaurant menus looked lovely. We picked an ensuite room which was best for us but honestly the shared bathrooms we had a look at and they were absolutely fine too so didn’t even need the ensuite. Hope to visit again soon, thanks all for a lovely, hassle-free stay!

This is my go to hotel when I am on a short stay in Sydney. It is cheap, has no pretentions and is on the direct train line to the airport. Sure the facilities are shared but no big deal for me . They are spotless and shampoo, body wash and conditioner are supplied. If food is required the bar has a kitchen and there are convenience stores just around the corner. I will be back in October and have already booked
