Family room

Stayed in the family room with 3 adults plenty of room. Bathroom was lovely, had heating. Comfortable bed, room was clean. Was ground level beside the road bit noisy but not too bad. Easy to find, great location beside shops/restaurants. Easy to access if out late. Lovely staff. Close to public transport.

Owen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay at The Alison was quite good. Reception lady was very friendly & helpful. Parking was secure & very convenient. Lovely comfy bed, clean bathroom( although tiny ). Great proximity to the light rail. The only downside was that our room was at the front & traffic noise was very loud & constant. We’d stay again but request a room further back, if possible.
Kate, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property was close to public transport, within just walking distance from the tram which made it amazing to stay at. Only downfall was our room faced out to the Main Street and you could hear the cars passing by quite loudly. Didn’t bother us too much as it was just a one night stay for a concert so we were barely in the room, so it suited us well

Sheryl, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location for UNSW anff for public transport. Small cosy room with good aircon. But the shower doors didn't close well so the bathoom floor was wet after anyone had a shower.

Great place to stay while in Sydney, so close to light rail network. Great affordable option, I can't wait to go back.
Allan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved this property! The room was spacious and clean. This was my first time sharing a bathroom and didnt have high expectations but I was honestly blown away. I never had to wait for the bathroom and the bathroom itself was clean and lush. The only downfall was the rooms are not very sound proof and the parking is extremely tight.

This is great accommodation situation in a good location!
Johanna, 5-night trip

Georgia, 3-night trip

The room was small but suited my purposes. Great location. I stayed 3 nights & while the shared bathroom was between approximately 6 people I believe I never once had to wait to use it & it was always stocked & clean. Great set up!

I loved the front facade, and the location.
