The plus about this hotel are the location and the staff. The hotel to the Sydney central station is less than 10 minutes walk. Woolworths supermarket is down the street, about 5 minutes walk. The staff are helpful.

It is a good location as we wanted to be near but not right in the city. It is a basic accommodation but good value for money. There is no lift only stairs in case you aren't aware. We used Uber and it was cheap for us to go into the city and back. There is some cafes and groceries nearby as well and public transport is close by. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The shower pressure was lacking and it took a while to get the water temperature to balance out, but it was hot!
The location was excellent, just a short walk from central station. The room was clean, modern and comfortable. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again should the need arise.
