Excellent location near Sydney harbour, however the room we stayed in was very poor, wet, worn carpet by bathroom, very old shabby worn , very basic. Black mold in bathroom. Bath very stained and smelt of mold and damp. Fridge didn’t work. Luckily we spent no time in it. Only to sleep! They took 200 dollars as deposit when we booked in, however to return deposit will take 5days! Wouldn’t recommend

The location of this hotel is excellent, but unfortunately the property is very outdated. The lifts are unreliable, and the rooms and bathrooms are in need of refurbishment. Our TV wasn’t working during our stay, and there was no maintenance staff available on the weekend to fix it. For a hotel of this standard, having maintenance support available at all times should be expected.
