to get started.

Stayed in the hotel overnight prior to our trip on the Inida-Pacific Train. Location could not have been better. Food was very good.

Richard, Australia

Great location - walking distance from central station and tourist sights.

Renan, Germany

The pub attached had great staff, good specials for meals & drinks

Samantha, Australia

Great location and easy to get.... great room for our purpose

Joanne, Australia

The hotel is historic, and looks historic, and that is always fun. The room was large (they upgraded us to a family room) and clean, and the bed comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Also, if you want to be near Central station or Chinatown, the location cannot be beat. For the price, it was excellent.

Lynn, United States of America

Location was good for my needs - though 25-30min walk to the "real" center.

Marcel, Israel

There was nothing particular to complain about this hotel. The location must be the strongest point of this hotel. It was easy to go everywhere from this hotel.

Takashi, United Kingdom

Located near Central station, Haymarket. Easy to move around with good access to public transport, shops, Woolworths, restaurants.

Alameen, Australia

Excellent location in CBD, helpful staff, great value for money. Rooms are plain and small but a great historic place to stay when in Sydney.

Robert, United States of America

Excellent reception service. Excellent meals. Upgraded room.
