Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean and as described, it had 3 beds and a small bathroom. It is an older hotel but great value for money as it is right in the CBD (which means there is city noise) and close to Circular Quay for my cruise departure, close to the train and light rail & Darling Harbour. Only negatives - the pub is not open on a Sunday, which is when I was checking in, & no one is there, so you have to call a number on the front door and they send someone to check you in. There was no mention of this when booking through Wotif or in their details about the hotel. I also had to call on behalf of someone waiting downstairs as they were international guests and didn't have a phone to call or know what to do. Also there was no hairdryer in the room but the info in the room said to speak to someone downstairs to borrow one but no one was there so had to call again to ask if I could borrow one and they dropped one off to my room. There was a note in the bathroom that the hot water can take about 10 mins to come through (due to being an old hotel) & I didn't believe it but that was right. I had to run the water for about 10mins or so before any hot water came through, so if you are in a hurry be prepared for the wait or have a cold shower. Other than that the staff were friendly and for a budget central hotel it was a good pick.

Great location. Rooms are functional and clean. Lots of noise from the street and windows noisy... So if you want a quiet night then bring your earplugs!

It's excellent value for money. The rooms are comfortable and clean and Wynyard Station is a block away, meaning you can roll out of bed and jump on the train to wherever you want to go. Would definitely stay there again.

It was a community style bathroom that was unexpected. It was all clean enough and we never had trouble accessing toilets or showers when we needed them. Our room was a little too small for all the furniture they had in there. You could only open the fridge part way as it hit the bed. It was tight to maneuver around each other and the furniture. Still the amenities were nice to have. We were able to store our luggage there after check out while we waited for our flights the last day. That was very helpful. The staff were helpful and friendly enough, though not easily gotten hold of. The price was very great. We would consider staying again. We loved the area. It was easy access to loads of everything.

Budget hotel for the discerning traveller

This hotel is ideally situated for my occasional visits to Sydney. It is a true budget hotel, pretty basic and shared bathrooms, toilets etc. I only need a bed for the night and a base camp for my luggage on my visits to Sydney and the price is right for my needs. One of the last true bargain hotel deals left in Sydney. Ideal for the older travellers who are not keen on backpacker lodgings. It's nice to have a fully functional old style Sydney pub downstairs as well.

Great location right in the centre of the city walking distance to all the sites including, Sydney harbour Bridge, opera house and Darling Harbour. Just remember this is an old budget hotel so don’t expect modern facilities.

An old building that needs updating, room was a good size but again needs updating, there was hot water but it takes at least 10 mins to come through this was explained to us as low water pressure, an inconvenience but not a problem, the bar was its saving grace, very good beers and food
