All staff were great, so friendly, efficient and respectful. It was so quiet and clean and comfy. Great value for the location, for central station for trains regional and local, metro station, and trams, light rail and buses.

Clean room, extremely helpful staff.
Even though an old building, it is well kept.
Only down side for an older person is the stairs.

Firstly, please note this is a budget hotel. If you're looking for a plush room with all the facilities, hotel reception areas, a bar and restaurant, this isn't the place for you.
If you're looking for a basic (hence lower cost) room, that's clean and has comfortable bed(s); this may be the place for you. The staff were friendly & helpful and the hotel is situated in a great central location, ideal for using Sydney's public transport.

The property is basic not fancy but perfectly acceptable for an adequate place to stay for a few nights. Good value too. Excellent location near to many transport options.

Located close enough to Central Railway Station, it was convenient as we only had an overnight stay before heading back home. Bed was comfortable and appeared to be new which was a huge plus. We were lucky enough to have a private toilet and shower, which were clean. Upstairs the rooms were quiet enough for our privacy.

The shower and toilet were actually dangerous. It was incredibly noisy and the stairs we had to take our cases up to get to the room were horrible.

Location is excellent- public transport, ethnic food, Aussie pubs etc. The only downside for me was no elevator and long staircases to carry luggage.
