When we arrived, which was early afternoon, there were no staff at the desk, we then waited 15 mins to be checked in. The room certainly needs upgrades...a rusted fridge, mouldy grout in the bathroom/shower. Our room door needed to be slammed to shut. You are simply paying for location with this one.

The reception staff were lovely, they really excelled! The location is great for access the ICC and central Sydney. My room was clean and spacious. My only issue was the hot water, I would turn the water on and get slightly warm water and then it went cold. I got told by reception to leave it on for 5 minutes and it should go hot, it didn’t. I ended up sending an email of complaint and they did give me some money back which was appreciated. On the final day before I left the shower did get warm after running the water for over 5 minutes. A big waste of water. This was a real shame as honestly it was otherwise a great place to stay.

Hotel was close to the entrance of Chinatown. Within walking distance of a variety of food choices. Close to local transportation. Only complaints were no instructions in room on how to use the hotel app to contact staff. The safe was non functioning for a new passvode.

This hotel is located near Chinatown, in one of the older areas of Sydney. The surrounding neighbourhood has a wide variety of restaurants, with plenty of food options to choose from. However, the hotel itself is not worth the money. The property feels old, outdated, and poorly maintained. Rooms lack proper upkeep, the facilities are below expectations, and the overall standard does not match the price being charged. While the location is convenient for accessing Chinatown and nearby attractions, the quality and value of the stay are disappointing.

The street where this motel is located, this is not the fault of APX motel group, it's more to do with the local council and surrounding buildings/restaurants to keep the street to a reasonably clean condition, rental bikes blocking the narrow footpath, cigarette butts all over the place doesn't make for a very appealing welcome to the neighbourhood.
