Great experience, lovely staff upgraded my single room to a twin to give me some more space which was greatly appreciated. Exactly what I needed for my short trip.

Great bang for your buck, can’t complain at all as Shihab upgraded me from a single to double bed room, he also helped me carry my suitcase up the three flights of stairs, he was a life saver!
Great stay for location and price point. Would stay again.

Staff are welcoming and the hotel is very close to Central Station for train, metro and light rail options. The building and rooms are dated but for a budget option in Sydney, the hotel is good value, especially for a single visitor.

Perfect central location and suprisingly quiet. Helpful staff. Reasonably clean and tidy considering the age of the building and rooms. Overall worth what I paid and fine for 1 or 2 nights stay.
The reception staff are very friendly. There is a Woolies Metro about a block away, liquor shops even closer, and a proper pub 2 blocks. A stones throw from Central Station and the city. I have stayed here a few times.
It was exactly what you would expect for the location and the price. Location is 10/10 and price is cheap for Sydney. All up it’s exactly what I paid for and no complaints.
Cheapest room I could find in central Sydney, can’t complain. Clean sheets and en-suite. Well located next to central for the day trips I had to take and the area is well lit for coming back at night. Good for solo traveller. Reception staff kindly allowed me to store my bags and use the bathroom to get changed when I arrived early in the day.

Booked a double room with shared bathroom, 30% off, cost 125Aus. Old place but clean. my room on 3rd floor, no lifts, so that could be an issue. Otherwise good value. Sink, refrigerator in room. Decent size room. old AC worked. Bed just a double. Good value for a cheap overnight right a central station and near light rail.
