The hotel was located about 15mins walk from Chippendale/central station. Rooms are very well sized and comfortable, especially for families. Generally, very clean.
The hotel also provides a microwave and coffee machine in reception for all guests to use, which was very convenient.

Great location. Friendly staff willing to help. Beds comfortable and rooms cleaned daily. The property could do with a freshen up and a spring clean. Overall I’d stay here again. We enjoyed the stay.
