Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While I was able to upgrade to a king-size room at a low additional cost, the room itself was disappointingly tiny and accessed through an external fire escape, reminiscent of spaces in Hong Kong or London rather than Sydney. The room felt musty and was located right next to a storage cupboard under the stairs, which wasn't ideal.
The hotel's location is unbeatable, surrounded by the best cafes and restaurants, an easy walk to the botanical gardens. The rooms, although a bit small, were big enough for a comfortable sleep but lacked some storage space. The service, despite some noise in the mornings, was friendly and helpful. The dining options were limited, with breakfast available in a nearby cafeteria. Overall, a great value for its prime location.
I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, surrounded by great restaurants and shops. The rooms were smaller than expected, but well-fitted out. The service was absolutely wonderful, and the staff were really lovely. The hotel is situated in a very nice area with lovely cafes just down the street and a short walk to the metro station. The dining experience was fantastic, and the facilities were top-notch.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient with nearby restaurants and cafes, but it felt a bit dodgy. The rooms were cozy but tiny, and the noise from the school field during the day was a downside. The service was friendly and accommodating, although more proactive problem-solving would have been appreciated.
The hotel rooms were very small, dark, and uncomfortable, but conveniently close to the lift which was good for my husband with a walker. The service was mixed, with helpful and accommodating staff but also some rudeness. The location was great, situated in a nice area with nearby restaurants and shops. The dining experience was fantastic being part of a package deal. However, the hotel lacked some essential facilities like sockets and the restaurant was open early at 7.00 am only.
This hotel offers a good location with easy access to dining options and a calmer Sydney stay, but the rooms are on the smaller side. The staff is friendly and helpful, making up for some hospitality lapses. The dining choices are limited but convenient. Overall, a decent value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, with easy access to shopping and restaurants, but some service aspects fell short. The room was basic and reminiscent of old motel units, yet the quiet atmosphere and surroundings were pleasant. Overall, a decent choice depending on your priorities.
The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to all tourist attractions, offering small but sufficient rooms for a good night's sleep. The service was prompt and helpful, although the rooms may feel a bit compact. The hotel exudes a quiet and comfortable ambiance ideal for restful nights.
The hotel is located on a nice calm street with plenty of coffee shops and restaurants around for breakfast. The rooms near the front of the hotel were always in tip-top condition but a bit small, with one room being absolutely tiny. The service, although helpful in recommendations for local sights and restaurants, was marred by being a little blunt and unaware of our booking details. The location is within walking distance of the center and offers convenience with only a few minutes walk to the Woolworths supermarket. In Sydney, just yards away, there is a dining option open at 7.00 am which was part of a package deal. The facilities were decent, although the bathroom styling was noted. Price and value for money were appreciated, but an incident with payment using a virtual card caused some inconvenience.
