Poor maintenance. Our window wasn’t working ok. Quite smelly room, lift and all place. Walls are super thin. We had people in next door rooms staying up till very late and we couldn’t sleep with the noise. Service was good. Location is great close to main Sidney places at walking distances but I wouldn’t stay there again.

The staff was great, provided a place to drop our bags prior to checkin time. The internet was spotty on the morning we left, but it may have just been a bad day because it was fine the day before. There were only bath towels, no hand towels or facecloths.

A small table lamp would do wonders for them. Other than that, everything was as expected. Would recommend this place to anyone who's only staying in Sydney for a few days and doesn't mind sharing bathrooms or loud street noise till 2am.
