Clean, comfortable, a good night's sleep.
One thing I did notice was that there was no gluten free option obvious at breakfast. On enquiry, staff was able to provide a sachet of GF cereal. This was the only thing which was not spot-on during our stay, everything else was great.

Great location
Fabulous location, central to a great part of Sydney with the light rail on your doorstep. Only downside to our stay is the lack of storage in our room. No cupboard to hang clothes, just 3 hooks on the wall. Staff are great and location fantastic.

Ok, but not as good as it could be.
This hotel is ok. In my opinion a bit overpriced for what it delivers. Yes the 1 lift is slow, but I wanting a hurry. The feather pillow options were nice, and the proper king sized bed was appreciated. The room was simple, surprised there were no tissues.
However, the TV situation was frustrating. Chromecast didn’t work and reception staff couldn’t resolve the issue. Our tv also switched off automatically after 5 mins. Became that frustrating we had to leave the hotel. The afternoon shift were amazing. The lady changed a setting and resolved it.
The water pressure in the shower was light and disappointing, with not enough pressure for the full effect of a rain shower showerhead. Overall it was ok, but better options to explore at this price point

Capitol
Building is very dark and funky, sometimes to the point that it is hard to see and hard to move around. At checkout, around the lifts which is a small area there are large groups of people with their suitcases wanting to get into the very slow lift, causing congestion at that point and for those wanting to get to the very small reception space. It clears up after check out time, and it will be very hard to rearrange the infrastructure of the place, but it is not a good design aspect of the place.

It as a great experience. Room was excellent and service by reception staff was amazing. Location was excellent.
Only issue was that when our room was cleaned each day, the cups and glasses were not cleaned or replaced, and tea and coffee not replenished.
