Great spot, refreshed hotel with friendly staff
Great location with Darling Harbour and Paddy's Market on your doorstep. Friendly staff were very helpful and accommodating. Our room was recently refreshed and it looks like other parts of the hotel are getting updated.

Great!
Easy, friendly service, convenient, clean and had everything we needed for an overnight in central Sydney. A little noisy for folks who aren't used to sleeping in the city, but the comfortable bed made up for it. Thanks!

Loved the welcoming and pleasant check in guy, the other guy on the desk was consistently on the phone.
Light and modern feel and convenient distance from many things. Will be staying again especially if they fix the booking glitch

Loved it
Perfect location for where I needed in the cbd. A little noisy at night but probably because my room faced the main road, not too much of an issue!
Great room and very friendly staff!

Cost too much for the small room- very average- i should of looked elsewhere. We had to go downstairs to get milk for our coffee as they had run out of milk to put in room fridge.

A great find in bustling Haymarket. Double glazed windows meant it was quiet and the room was well- appointed. The only negative is that there is no lift after the 2nd floor. Not sure how elderly people with luggage would go in that situation, especially as customers aren’t informed until they check-in
