    Staying in a room with air conditioning helps combat the musty smell from the older carpets, enhancing overall comfort.

    perfect central base for exploring sydney's top attractions

    I loved being just a few steps away from St Mary's Cathedral and Hyde Park, making it super convenient for a weekend of leisurely strolls through the city and beautiful park views. The friendly staff made me feel right at home during my stay.

    sydders vibes 🌆

    Staff were super friendly, helping me out with everything. The location is on point, just a couple minutes walk to the tram and nothing beats being in the middle of it all. Plus, the comfy bed was like a slice of heaven after a long day!

    Just a heads up, those stairs can be a mission if you’re not fit!

    retro fit
    clean rooms
    lack parking

    Retro fit bathrooms impressed with unique design elements. The clean rooms featured interesting vintage wallpaper that adds character.

    Location lacks parking, forcing you to haul luggage four blocks. Family rooms are above the pub, but kids can't enjoy meals there, requiring extra effort to find eating options. Small rooms available can be inconvenient and cramped, especially for older travelers.

    great value
    bar noise
    cleanliness issues

    I stayed in the Superior King Room for 2 nights and loved how modern and clean it felt. The bedding was super comfy, which made it so nice to crash after exploring the city. It's close to everything you want to see and an overall great deal for the price! Just note, the bar noise might bother light sleepers.

    Conveniently situated near Pitt and George streets, the spacious room comfortably housed my family of five, though the ensuite bathroom was compact.

    The room was centrally located, simple but perfectly formed, and provided great value for the price in the heart of Sydney. Amenities like premium bedding and free WiFi added to the comfort of my stay. The staff's hospitality made a world of difference, with attention to making my experience enjoyable.

    Noise from the bar.

    wireless charger
    usb port

    Just a suitable option for a short stay in Sydney with good price-value balance. The wireless charger and USB port next to the bed were convenient and made charging devices easy. Plan to check in after 3 PM to avoid wait times.

    Great stay with some hiccups

    Staff were super friendly and helped us with our bags up the stairs. The room we got was cozy, all clean, and had that cool retro look. The dining area was inviting, we enjoyed a couple of drinks there. Just a heads up, those stairs can be a bit of a trek, especially after a long day walking around Sydney.

    great location
    bar noise

    Had a blast with friends here. It’s close to Darling Harbour and the Sydney Zoo, both just a short walk away. The area is buzzing with energy and the room was clean and cozy. A great place to chill after a full day of exploring.

    The only downer was the noise from the bar, which made it tough to get some sleep. Just a heads up to future guests about that.

    convenient location
    comfortable bed
    disturbing noise
    pest issues
    unhelpful staff

    The location offered easy access to shops and attractions, which was the highlight of the stay. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by the disruptive roadworks outside that caused constant noise, and the room was basic with pest issues from flies coming through the bathroom vent. The staff were not very accommodating, further diminishing the experience.

    location is a major highlight, super central for all my sightseeing needs. loved the cozy vibe, and the staff were genuinely helpful, giving me good tips for local spots. plus, the bar had some fun cocktails during happy hour!
