I should have done a little more research on the area and the hotel. It was in a dirty area, also full on LGBGT, not that that is a problem in itself, but it was a big surprise. It was only about 15 - 20 minute walk to quality stores and transportation. The staff was very helpful and stored our luggage before and after our stay. Bed was comfortable and clean. A thumping music beat from somewhere close to the hotel kept us awake the first night for quite a while. It didn't happen the second night. However, strong construction noise from next door woke us on both days.

Nice bit noisy

Ok hotel that is dated but slightly upgraded with very large family room which was great. My biggest complaint is the street noise. Friday and Saturday nights are not good here - way too much noise from parties and clubs I guess until all hours of the night. Also a couple adult shops nearby.

Ridiculous amount of mould and dirt in the showe and in the tiles around the toilet. It felt extremely unhygienic, it hadn’t been cleaned properly if at all in many months. Kettle was covered in dust and had black bits coming off the bottom into my hot drinks. I did ask for another one and it was replaced. Bed and linen was fine. Table tops and carpet also fine.

Stayed in this hotel expecting it to be similar to the photos displayed on website. This was not the case. The room was very small and very crammed. The facilities were not up to a decent standard the whole Room needs to be renovated and cleaned thoroughly. The quality of sleep we got was very poor due to pipes in the room banging and the air conditioning system making extreme noise when on. Overall very disappointed with the room and hindered the experience of Sydney .

This hotel was a hidden gem in sydney. Easy to get around. And right in the heart of sydney's alternative culture scene. At the top floor which was extremely private with a great view but had to climb Three flights of stairs, But so worth it.
