Sydney Central Station: only 5 minutes away! (1,250 feet by foot)
The hotel is located just in front of a big train station, which was super convenient for us to access to most of the major places to visit in the city. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. The pub downstairs provides great meals and drinks at reasonable prices. We are 120% satisfied with the stay at the hotel, and if we have a chance to visit Sydney in the future, we will definitely stay there again:))
JapanClassic pub "check in at the bar" - was easy (and, one can grab a pint while checking in!). Location ideal, if a little noisy. Location is adjacent to the SYD main rail terminal, so all that comes with that (convenience, noise, lots of pedestrian traffic ... and a few sketchy characters). Room was clean, well set up.
United States of AmericaLocation was easy to get to with just a short walk from Central Station.
AustraliaLocation very close to southern concourse which was good for our travel plans of this trip. Very nicely renovated rooms and accommodation area.
AustraliaIt’s close to central station and to a beautiful Park with swimming pool. Would stay there again - good value
CanadaPerfect location directly across from Central Trail Station. You can get to anywhere in Sydney from here.
United States of AmericaChosen because of price and the close location to Central Railway Station. Location will be even better when the light rail, which goes past the door, begins taking passengers. It was practicing. Meals are also available and I ate there one night. Great value and for the price very good, but I wasted a lot of the food, because I am one person, and the meal was big enough for two people. Friendly staff.
AustraliaThe location was very convenient, so after a stay at this hotel at the start of our trip, we chose to book it again for our final night. It was very easy to get to and from the airport from this location, and the pub downstairs was a great gathering place after a day of tourism! The bed was also very comfortable!
United States of AmericaLocation is sensational. Staff very friendly and happy to hold bags before check in time. Our room was spacious with new furniture, large flatscreen tv, free bottled water and take away from the bistro allowed in the room.
AustraliaThe location is great, just across the central station. The room was large and comfortable~
