Our room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms accessible and clean. The building construction noise across the street was not welcome at 3am but not the fault or within the control of the hotel. Attempted to have a meal for dinner but the pub was so chock a block full that we had to go elsewhere.

Perfect location right next to Wynyard station (trains, buses, light rail, supermarket and food hall all within a block). Beautiful old building. Shared bathrooms excellent (aside from the lack of mirrors). Very large showers and always kept clean. Was initially worried about the "shared" aspect, but hardly saw another person in 4 days. Never had to wait. Room adequate. Nothing fancy, but very clean. Great view across the park to the city. Could use maybe a power point or 2. Saturday night traffic was noisy (of course), but despite two functions downstairs and a full bar, almost no noise audible from within the building. Had a great stay. Would stay again and definitely recommend for a short city trip.

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.

We were disgusted with the noise all night into the early hours, we had no hot water in the shower or the hand basin, no hairdryer, the air conditioner would not heat, when I called downstairs to hotel manager, he eventually came to our room and stated the sign on the bathroom wall explained......the sign read, Due to low water pressure,you need to run the water for at least 10 mins before it will come through hot, sorry for the inconvenience !! Well, the water pressure was great, not a problem, worst is what about the amount of water being wasted. I request a refund for our 2 night stay. The room also had a musty smell.
