Firstly, please note this is a budget hotel. If you're looking for a plush room with all the facilities, hotel reception areas, a bar and restaurant, this isn't the place for you. If you're looking for a basic (hence lower cost) room, that's clean and has comfortable bed(s); this may be the place for you. The staff were friendly & helpful and the hotel is situated in a great central location, ideal for using Sydney's public transport.
