Nice bar. But a VERY average experience as a hotel... The room we stayed in looked like it had not seen a proper clean/bit of TLC in over 6 months, grimey and dusty. Very humid night and the portable AC unit was broken, with no replacements available, had to resort to opening the window. Base of window frame then breaks off immediately. Exposing old, rotten wood and rusty nails, and then would not stay open without slamming down every 15 minutes. Dead cockroach in cabinet.. Not the most inviting experience, quite nasty. Felt more like a run down hostel. Not worth the $250.00 p/night.

Crazy experience

The hotel duvet feels like it hasn't been cleaned in 10 years. One of the duvets has serious blood stains, which is disgusting! The sheets also have blood stains. It's really scary. The staff couldn't provide more duvets and could only offer sheets. There is no private bathroom.

Spent a few nights here. The room is not bad for a budget room. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Only a quick train ride to the city. The room can get a little warm but you do get a fan. Overall a nice place to stay cheap for a few nights

A great place with the inner west vibe in a central location just outside of the cool place of Newtown. Highly recommended, the staff are fantastic. Only thing is that the streets are bit narrow and parking can be a bit hard to find might help to park a bit further and walk to the pub and hotel. Everything else is excellent.
