AustraliaSincere appreciation for an excellent comfortable two nights a commotion. Location ideal to Central Station for The 9pm Country Train arrival Wednesday, then the 7am Country Train departure Friday.
AustraliaProblem with parking. Room size was okay. Smoke Alarm was ringed 5am. It was unserviced so not huge options. No tooth brush and almost no services. Just good for a single night or maximum two days. Only bonus was the price and being in the central and also close to China town
AustraliaThe showers were excellent, air conditioning was great and everything was clean. I’ve stayed here several times before but the room this time was particularly spacious and well laid out. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Perfect location.
AustraliaClose to everything great value the receptionists where very helpful and really friendly the room was perfect
AustraliaAffordable accommodation in a great location. Very close to Central Station and a good base for easily accessing all the sights, restaurants and shopping Sydney has to offer.
AustraliaIt was easy to check in and check out. Staff were attentive and helpful. It was very private and quiet. Liked the old heritage look. Nice and warm inside.
AustraliaPlease Improve the showers as poor drainage and water flowing rate is too little without a handle-shower
AustraliaFantastic heritage hotel clean and great facilities exceptional value.
AustraliaLocation. Solid food and beer in the pub downstairs. Felt like a good deal.
