Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent location near Central Station, making it easy to access public transport and explore Sydney. Many found the rooms clean and comfortable, and several mentioned friendly and helpful staff. However, noise was a significant issue for many, with complaints about street noise, construction, and thin doors. Some guests felt the hotel was overpriced for the quality, and a few were disappointed by misleading photos and lack of amenities. Despite these drawbacks, the location and cleanliness were strong positives.

Belinda, Jun 2024
Fabulous location, literally cross the street and enter Central Station. The only downfall, which is not their fault, is the noise from people on the street below and across the road at Dominos pizza and the other pub. If you can sleep with street noise, then this is an ideal place to stay in Sydney. Regards - the country gal, who is used to the sound of cows at night.
