Room was large and well equipped. One of the better value rooms with two queen beds. Staff were courteous and check-in was simple. Lots of stairs and no lift - don't book if you need accessibility.

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.

I like this budget hotel, I slept well and clean bathroom within the room. Some maintenance needs to be done: 1) USB plug in 2) nail glue on loose drawers/bathroom tap 3) bathroom hooks for my towel. Still this hotel is very good for within budget and will definitely

Great Oxford St Location

Good location for our trip, room was a good size and beds were comfortable. Could do with some charging points, so take your wall plugs. There is no lift so need to take that into consideration for those that can’t do stairs. Overall happy with our stay.
