I liked how convenient it was to public transport and city center. Hotel is inside/on top of a noisy pub and place feels old and worn down. A place to sleep and clean sheets at a cheap rate.

Close to Wynyard station, and pretty central. It was a bit odd to check-in, I wasn’t sure where to go and had to wait a bit for the manager, but no issues with customer service. The facilities are decent and overall clean. The toilet and showers are separate. I would have preferred to have an internal lock in addition to the key lock, but that’s more a preference. I would stay again, definitely a good budget option.

Poor maintenance. Our window wasn’t working ok. Quite smelly room, lift and all place. Walls are super thin. We had people in next door rooms staying up till very late and we couldn’t sleep with the noise. Service was good. Location is great close to main Sidney places at walking distances but I wouldn’t stay there again.
