A good location a little outside of the main CBD of Sydney, but lots to offer in the area itself. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, so thank you!

This was a great stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful when we needed anything. The room was nice and clean. Easy location to get to. The hotel just looked like it needed a slight uplift in terms of decor etc but didn’t affect our stay and would really recommend!

Staff were great, but first room we were assigned was so strong with bleach smell from cleanin it irritated our eyes and breathing. Staff were friendly and happy to move us to another room that was clean but did not smell.
Overall, I would definitely stay again

I spent 3 weeks in Sydney in different hotels. This one was the cheapest but also one of the most pleasant. Staff was helpful. Lots of good restaurants in Darlinghurst. About 20 minute walk to Hyde Park. Another 15 to the opera house. Look, its budget but I think they make up for it.

Good, basic hotel close to Sydney harbor
The hotel was okay - basic but that's all we wanted. I was a little worried about the cleanliness after reading the reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. There are a lot of restaurants and places offering breakfast along nearby Victoria street. It is within walking distance from the Sydney harbor.

Was very hard to find as there wasn’t much signage at the front of the building. Only a single door that led up a set of steep stairs

Stayed here a few times, and each time the staff have been friendly and accommodating. Can be a little expensive during peak times but it is a convenient location with clean air conditioned rooms. Will be back to stay again in 2 weeks for my birthday weekend
