Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Check-in and check-out was seamless (my first time checking in at a bar) and the staff were all wonderful. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and bathroom spotless. There are earplugs available to drown out the street noise. Getting to and from the airport is also seamless as the station entrance is across the road… we got to the airport in 15mins from leaving the hotel!
Room location was perfect for us and was clean and comfortable. Even though we were over a busy hotel, there was no noise from the bar or traffic. Highly recommend this property for cost and comfort.
We always stay here when we are visiting Sydney or transiting though, it is so convenient bein just over the road from Central Station, the bistro serves very nice meals and is to be recommended, always enjoy staying here
Room was neat, clean and quiet. Good location. The security code access system worked well.
The A/C unit did not work as it should as it did not cool the room and would shut down after a few minutes if set to "Cool" mode. Fan mode worked. As windows are sealed closed the room did get very hot and stuffy.
Accommodation was excellent. Clean and tidy, staff and facilities were excellent. Only downfall was the tram line outside my room and that’s no fault of the hotel
