Great location and the room was comfortable. There was a 1 inch gap under the apartment room door, where the door had been cut down badly, this allowed quite alot of noise in from the landing area.

Unclear information that it was shared bathroom when booking so it was a surprise when we checked in. There was a cockroach in the bathroom. Two sets of stairs to our room, the second one was super narrow and barely fit our suitcases. The room was very small and rugged. The images tricks you to believe it is nicer than what it is. Only good thing was location. We had planned to stay 6 nights but immediatey cancelled our last 4 and re-booked them elsewhere.

Good location near the city, decent quality clean sheets and bathroom but the rooms do really need a bedside lamp and bathmat per room for use in the communal bathroom

The hotel is a great location very close to Kings Cross station which is only 2 stops aways from the city centre. The hotel was very clean although there was an odour coming from the room but after a while you don’t notice it anymore. Staff very friendly and helpful throughout stay. The hotel was very quiet at night even though it is on the Main Street and great choice of bakeries and bars close by. Highly recommend and would stay again.

It was a nice place but rooms were very small, almost a bit hard to have room for all of your bags. Clean and nice toilets and showers. 17 $ discount on parking each night which is very good in Sydney. Nice touch to have the air cons going when you arrive.

Very comfortable room, with double bed, lots of pillows and nice sheets. Shared facilities were nice too: clean and stylish. Area is leafy and walkable, with interesting Art Deco architecture. Lots of different dining options. My room was on the top floor, with a narrow set of stairs, which may pose an issue for people with additional access needs.

The place is near to different dine-in restaurants, cafe's, coles, wolies and metro. It is a walking distance to iconic Harry's, botanical, museum, st may of the cross cathedral, westfield mall, hyde, opera and the rocks.

I really enjoyed my stay here! This was my first time staying somewhere with shared facilities (i.e. bathroom) but it was genuinely a very comfortable stay and I found this was not an issue at all.
The only negative was that I wish I knew there were so many stairs up to the room I was in, but I also knew I was booking last minute so I expected surprsies like that.
Either way I will definitely stay here again no doubt in my mind.

Good value! Great location, easy to explore the city by walking and train station close by. Clean modern rooms, would be better if the window opens to let fresh air in. Doors are heavy, you can hear other rooms closing loudly… We had late check in and never received the access email… had to call the nearby hotel with joint management to get the door code as there is no one on site in the evening or got back to our email until the next day. Would recommend for the budget :)

Convenient and characterful!
Had a good time the the jenson. I hadn’t realised when I’d booked it was a shared bathroom but it honestly wasn’t an issue. Room itself was great with loads of period character and a nice balcony on to the street. Late check in was very easy. Would recommend!

Location is the best, around hotel has a lot of bars, restaurants, cafes. But are you okay with sharing toilet? There is no elevator, you have to carry your luggage yourselves. Also no cleaning service when I stayed. It was only my room or not, you should check it out.

Clean & quiet
The Jensen was clean, simple, and quiet! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, even coordinated an early check in at no cost, on the spot. A great location too, right by Kings Cross for public transit access. The only thing I wish they had was a shared kitchen space! There is a shared station with a toaster, microwave, and hot water pot; I was able to make some easy meals but would have loved somewhere to eat besides my room. Overall, a great spot to stay.

Decent but wouldn’t stay here again
I wouldn’t stay here again.
Lobby staff works part time only. There’s no kitchen or shared spaces. Rooms are small, and my room in particular did not have a sink. Shared bathroom was not an issue, and it was usually clean.
There’s 1 train station nearby but not a lot of other transit options.
You can find another hotel in a better location for the same price.
