I was happy that the staff checked me in early in the morning before the official time and the upgrade. The building has been renovated. The room is small but clean. My only complaint is that the toilet bowls were dirty. I blame it on the design because it is deep and the pool of water is small, like a well. So lots of poops stuck above the water. I suggest the management taking a look at American ones of which the pool is wider and no well

It was in a very convenient spot within the Sydney CBD. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Vibes within the place were immaculate. The shared toilets were mostly clean. The laundry was also very easy and convenient to access. Great stay overall. Would consider booking again if I ever came back to Sydney.

Bring your own pillows and towels

The location is great… close to central train station. The common bathroom has spacious shower area. Hair dryer and toiletries are provided as well. We booked a room good for 3 pax. The AC is central. But was really disappointed with the pillows, blanket and towels. They smell like rust. We had to buy our own pillows and towels from Big W.
