The location was great but it was uncomfortable to have large cockroaches running across the bed at night . In this day and age you should have pest controllers in to manage this problem and provide guests with spray cans

Hello, Newtown Cozy Stays. Unfortunately, I missed my flight and couldn't go to Sydney. I lost my ten-day reservation and therefore my money. I hope you will be more flexible with your accommodation policies. At least penalize me for one or two days, but not the entire amount. Thank you.

So the location is really good: near the station and Newtown is a cool place. Good food and bars. Great vegan resturants. The room was tiny, which is fine, not no lamp. In the evening as a lone traveller i didnt want to be out all the time. The light in the room is so super bright or complete darkness. In the evening i would like to have read a book and relax. This is not possible. The staff seem nice, enough as long as they dont have to do anything for you. The staff said the room is too small for a lamp. Bed is comfortable enough. I stayed for 6 nights. I think if the staff would have helped me with a lamp to be able to relax in my room in the evening id have had a very different experience. 6 nights is a long time to stay and not feel you can relax after days out.

The room was well portioned for 1 person. The inital impression was the smell as you opened the door. The lack of air flow and what I could only describe a wet smell to the room. I left the courtyard door open all night without the air conditioner on to air it out. The bathroom was not a disabile friendly. The toilet is tucked in next to the door and you have to sit slightly sideways, otherwise you are touchingvthe wall. No hand rails and the floor is uneven. I did not use the shower recess due to this. The bed was comfortable but the courtyard light was on all night so unless you closed the CY door, even with block out curtains you did not get full darkness. TV was well positioned and plenty of storage and amenities for tea and coffee. Expensive grocer 3 doors up for snacks.

Staff are amazing. The room was great. Small but clean and has everything you need, except the bathroom, which was shared. Would have been an extra star had they not been doing renovations on the upper level bathrooms. Had to walk all the way down 2 level to the ground floor bathroom.
