Staff were very good and welcoming. The location was pretty good as well, short walk to George St and shopping centre. I stayed there with my dog, and it was good. One problem was this particular room was above a shop that has pumps or compressors running 24/7. Didn't notice it too much but still noticeable.

We had a great time with The Ultimo hotel. The staff are very helpful. Our room is cleaned every day. The hotel is couple of minutes walking distance to train central stations, bus stops and light rail stations, China town, Paddy's market and tons of restaurants. I highly recommend this hotel. Thank you to all the staff.
