We have stayed here many times but the last two times have not been up to standard. The location suits but the last two stays the rooms have not been clean and the bedding consisted of sheets with a very old worn brown blanket. The standard has definitely slipped. We will be looking for somewhere else to stay.

The only disappointing feature is the servicing of the room - no replacement of shampoo and only one supplied on day 1. Cups were not washed. Bed only pulled up .

Situated in a good location for transport, shopping, restaurants and places to visit. The hotel was clean, very nice staff. Rooms were small but very comfortable, my only complaint would be that the water pressure in the shower was terrible.

We stay there because it’s close to Central Train Station. It’s a five minute walk. It also has a restaurant and bar which means we don’t have to leave if we don’t want to.

It's very convenient, lots of eateries nearby and close to Central Railway Station. I always stay here if I need an early morning flight, as I take the train to the airport.

This is my go-to destination as it is very reasonable and so handy to both main train lines and the Sydney metro. You are always greeted with a smile at reception and, unlike some Sydney hotels, I have never been greeted with "rooms aren't available until 2 o'clock" even though I might only have arrived half an hour early. The rooms are basic but clean with the usual tea/coffee, fridge, safe and, of course, private bathroom with walk-in shower. Very much recommended.
