Clean and spacious room, with everything you could need. Shared facilities were spotless throughout the stay. And despite there being a bar on the ground floor, I was never disturbed by the noise.

Great place to stay. Bathrooms shared and clean. Room clean. Staff friendly. Held our bags before checkin so we could wander. Easy checkout. There will be noise because it's above a pub. AC was great white noise. Great location as a jump spot for touristy things. Reasonable price. Expect these things and it's a 5 star experience.

The room was spacious and clean. The shared bathroom was always clean. Tea & coffee in the room was nice to have. We arrived on January 1st (holiday) & the bar (where we were to check in) was closed. No clear communication how to check in on a holiday. There was a phone # on the door that we were able to contact someone & we got let in. The staff were great - very friendly.

Location was brilliant. Close to train station so easy to access from airport. Pub it's above was very popular, good food/drink deals. While room was outdated it was clean and all you need for a couple of nights stay. A bit of street noise but manageable. For the price I highly recommend this place.

Staff where friendly didn't get a chance to check out the dining or bar but it looked good. Rooms where clean and bed was very comfortable after a long flight. Nice location short walk to the opera house (15-20 mins) great access to public transport. Prices where good and shared bathrooms where available when needed and kept clean.

Great location for exploring the city. The staff were super kind, and the shared bathroom and toilet were totally fine. The room wasn’t brand new, but it was very spacious, and since I was out most of the time, it was more than enough for a good night’s sleep. I’ll definitely come back 😊

6/10 Good

This was a good place to stay for a short amount of time. Our room was clean, supplied with a fridge, table, 2 chairs & 3 beds which we did not need, but would be great for a family. it was a corner unit right on York Street, so we were thankful that we travel with earplugs. Beds were comfortable, pillows not so much as they are “pitiful”. We had a private bathroom in our room which was great. We were only given 2 large towels when we first arrived and then the next day we had a hand towel and a bath mat appear. Close to everything we needed to make our trip enjoyable. It is an old hotel on a very busy road in the CBD & it is also a very popular hotel when work is done, so people spill out onto the sidewalks and they stay late. The price was the main draw and overall you get what you pay for.

Happy Hour busy with good prices and choices. Room clean and comfortable. Shared bathroom really needed a good scrub with a scrubbing brush. Liked the rustic decor.
