The room was clean, and well appointed. The bed was very firm (which I like). Shower ran fast and hot, which is another plus. It is very central on Oxford Street so there was occasional street noise in my room, but this did not really bother me. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a great stay. Good for people on the go, or needing to be in the Darlinghurst/Surry Hills area.

Spacious room for family stay

We were in Sydney for an overnight stay, choosing this hotel for its location. The room was surprisingly spacious with three double beds making it a great spot room for a family.

The hotel is great and comfortable and the staff are excellent and attentive and just lovely! We had to extend one night and we were given a great option and a smooth room transition. This hotel is close enough to the museum station, and very walkable. Highly recommended hotel! Thank you to all staff
