Overall, it was great and very comfortable but there were no towel rails in the bathroom or a rail to hold to exit the bath safely (shower was in the bath). We also didn’t have a QR Code in our room for room service and the lock on the balcony door was broken. Bed was comfortable and room was very clean.

Lovely Hotel - Very Central

Great hotel located very close to Central Station. Easy to access trains, buses and trams from here. The room was very spacious, clean and had plenty of amenities provided. Staff were friendly and helpful. the bathroom is on the small side, but it is perfectly functional and maintained well. Note the restaurant is not open for dinner on Sundays and Mondays. Negative points: The mattress is VERY soft. Really, was quite difficult to sleep/get comfortable in as it was too soft. Staff (& the printed information) could have provided more information, for example, we didn't see check-out time on the printed info and had to look it up. And we weren't told at check-in about the restaurant being closed on Sunday & Monday (we checked in on Sunday). Overall, enjoyed our stay here. I would definitely stay again and would recommend it.

Buffet breakfast was very average, you have to pay extra if you want oat milk coffee. My room was right next to the lift so I didn't get much sleep with the noise of the elevator all night.

Lovely hotel, booked it without even realising it was where we stayed the last time. The shower-tub was a bit slippery even with their little mat, so I got a huge bruise on my leg, but other than that it was a great stay.

Great Location .. Value for Money

Large well kept rooms in a great location and for Sydney the price is good. The public areas could do with a update, some of the carpets are badly stained and frayed. Overall a good place to stay especially if you are looking for clean comfortable accomodation that is nothing fancy.

Wouldn’t stay again. Positives - close to central station, room was clean/tidy. Negatives - photos on site look a lot nicer, needs some love, went to use the gym and it was as hot as a sauna/couldn’t use, ordered the most expensive beef burgers we have ever had and by far the worst tasting. Over $60 for 2 basic burgers. One wasn’t cooked/the pattie was raw and had to be re made. Very small menu too.
