Staff was very helpful and accommodating, the hotel is in an excellent location close to public transport and within walking distance to areas of interest such as Darling Harbour and a couple of train stops away from Curcular Quay etc. The room was clean with very comfortable beds. We even got a complimentary cheese platter and a bottle of wine. Overall a very good experience

Hotel is good overall. But really requires a major refurbishing. Room carpet looks and feels dirty. Bathroom needs reno. Breakfast is great but most are greasy so needs some healthier leaner options. The best part is the staff and service. Before when I stayed here, the low price made it good value. But it’s now more expensive and there may be other options if better value.
