I wasn't happy because I booked a double and single room with an ensuite, but they gave us just the double bed. The room was also so small with no fridge inside. I am very disappointed not worth what I paid.

We had booked a room that had a double and a single bed but when we arrived we found that the room we were allocated only had a queen. Staff then said that “Expedia does weird things” and that we’d have to pay the difference to get a room with more than 2 beds, which was the family room. Not very impressed. Aside from that the room was clean and very convenient to all the night life of Blackheath. The 2 meals for $36 was also very good.

The room was very pleasant . Lovely outlook to the street. The hotel was very central across from the train station. Close to shops and other amenities. Had a delicious lunch and a jazz band played in the afternoon! Overall a very pleasant stay. Thank you!

The rooms and shared bathroom were genuinely nice and comfortable. Unfortunately our window’s pulley system was damaged so we couldn’t open our window and the car/truck noise from the street was fairly terrible and continuous all night. I imagine if your room is not on the street side, this wouldn’t be a problem though.
