The whole experience was fantastic but it all started with the outstanding desk staff that did our check in who happened to be the same person that checked us out. Room was not ready when we first arrived, and the staff were very remorseful but quite informative as to why the room was not They gave us free drink vouchers to help overcome any grief The room and the condition of the hotel was really pleasant and the bed and overall comfort was outstanding. I would recommend this hotel to all of my friends and family

A nice stay in Sydney

I had a great 6 night stay at this hotel in a balcony room. A short walk from Central Station and light rail/tram to airport, CBD and harbour. The room was spacious, clean and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It was quiet during my stay. Breakfast was good with a range of hot and cold options. 7/11 and Metro stores close by for snacks. I would stay here again.

The buffet breakfast was fantastic, and all the staff were friendly and polite—especially the Filipina staff member (I believe her name was Donna). However, during dinner service, we chose to dine at the hotel instead of going out, but after waiting several minutes, no one came to assist us. It appeared that only two staff members were managing the entire dinner service.

Easy 10 mins walk from central station, it’s in a quiet area, the room is very big and it has all the standard things for a hotel. However I can hear people open and close the door loudly and the lift is a bit slow.
