All staff were great, so friendly, efficient and respectful. It was so quiet and clean and comfy. Great value for the location, for central station for trains regional and local, metro station, and trams, light rail and buses.

Great convenient location near Central and Surry Hills. Affordable. No frills. Friendly front desk. There should be a way to open and leave open the shared toilet room.

Clean room, extremely helpful staff.
Even though an old building, it is well kept.
Only down side for an older person is the stairs.
Firstly, please note this is a budget hotel. If you're looking for a plush room with all the facilities, hotel reception areas, a bar and restaurant, this isn't the place for you.
If you're looking for a basic (hence lower cost) room, that's clean and has comfortable bed(s); this may be the place for you. The staff were friendly & helpful and the hotel is situated in a great central location, ideal for using Sydney's public transport.
The room was a little shabby, but very clean and comfortable for a budget stay, handy to Central Station and the city. You could not go wrong if you book.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The entrance and stairs and the rooms are run down but reasonably clean. Checkin staff helpful explaining the facilities. For a short stay the location and price were very good.
Whilst the staff member was very friendly and very polite as soon as you walk up the stairs you are hit with a very strong urine smell which doesnt go away and the carpet is very stained the soap in the bathroom had hair on it and they're were stains on the mattress,good location though very central
The staff was good and helpful, but the room is in a very old condition, and the bathroom looks like public toilets, has no privacy at all, shared between both genders males and females
