Good but needs a refresh.

The place was perfect for inner City with washing machine and dryer. Large apartment type living. Just needs a coat Of paint to refresh. A more creamy coloured paint which made it feel dark. Cleaning was excellent and bed was comfortable. It’s everything you need - just felt dated

The location was great but the room/unit desperately needs a renovation. Chipped titles in the bathroom, warped doors in the kitchen. It needs a total revamp. We had breakfast included and we had to get a voucher for the hotel (Amour) across the road. That hotel was in better condition. Doubt I would stay again.

The property is in a great location within the CBD. It’s a two minute walk to Wynyard train station which makes it convenient when travelling to/from the airport. I’ve stayed at this hotel a couple times before due to the location. The only minor quips i had was the room wasn’t completely clean when i checked in. The bathroom had hair on the shower floor. After travelling for two days I didn’t have time to ask the front desk to clean it so I just wiped it down myself. Also for extended stays, it would be helpful if the laundry detergent and soap was replenished when housekeeping came. Other than that, the stay was pleasant and the room was comfortable. The studio room is spacious and the balcony is convenient to hang laundry.

Great location and that all

The best thing about the Hotel is its location and proximity to Circular Quay & transport. Previously stayed here 10 years ago and nothing has changed. The rooms are dated and need to be renovated. Arrived early 2 hrs early they wouldn't allow check in and advised to come back at 2pm , we came back at 3pm and room still wasn't ready . Left our luggage with the reception staff and had to ask 3 times for luggage tag receipts When we finallly checked in after 3pm on Saturday we arrived at Level 19 and found this bag of rubbish in the corrider , the bag of rubbish was still there when we departed at 0930 on Sunday morning . The Hotel staff didn't seem to embrace customer service

Great location, pay thru hotels.com

Great 2 bed apartment in an excellent location. Beware of the surcharge if paying at the hotel. I think we paid 2.5%. Could have easily avoided this if we paid thru hotels.com but my friend and I hoped to pay 50/50 on card so waited, and they couldn’t do that anyway which has never been an issue elsewhere. Surcharge seems unreasonable to me as they don’t accept cash.
