I was very impressed with the quality of this hotel for the price. It was an old building but very well maintained. The room was very clean and comfortable. Even the shared bathroom was not as I expected it to be, it was much better. The food in the dining room for dinner was very enjoyable and the complimentary breakfast was a nice touch. It was in the perfect location for our cruise holiday as it was not far to walk to Circular Quay.

Great location for access to public transport. An old pub….in dire need of a refit and clean. Mouldy bathroom, peeling paint, musty rooms, worn and torn carpets, no hand wash basins in toilets or bathrooms.

Noisy in both the daytime (construction site opposite) and nighttime (rooms are above the pub, plus street noise till early hours) and windows couldn't be properly shut. Carpets are threadbare and stained, walls are dirty. Clean linen and friendly staff were the only positive (apart from the location which is great of course). I would not recommend for families.

Good for the price!
It’s a very good hotel for the price. It’s located perfectly in Sydney for tourism. The place is pretty worn out, and the showers leave a bit to be desired, but for the price it’s to be expected. I’d would still recommend this hotel to any traveler on a budget that doesn’t want to stay at a hostel or who appreciates their privacy. There is a lot of construction near the hotel, but that’s just the situation everywhere in Sydney at the moment.

Very friendly staff. The location is within easy walking distance to train station, light rail and Circular Quay. Rooms were clean and considering the inner city location nice and quiet. Woud stay here again.
