Located close enough to Central Railway Station, it was convenient as we only had an overnight stay before heading back home. Bed was comfortable and appeared to be new which was a huge plus. We were lucky enough to have a private toilet and shower, which were clean. Upstairs the rooms were quiet enough for our privacy.

Absolutely brilliant! It is a great place to stay, friendly staff, It is not a fancy hotel & the rooms are quite plain, however there is Complimentary tea & coffee & a bar fridge that kept drinks nice & cold, the location is very convenient, it is across the road from central station, Woolworths is a 100m walk, plenty of local pubs for a drink or a meal. Fantastic value for money & I really loved my stay, I highly recommend staying here, The only down side is a few flights of stairs to get to the 2nd floor, no elevator, but it is not too bad. A bedside lamp would be nice for the rooms too, as the overhead fluro light is quite bright. I would gladly stay here again if in Sydney.

Great location across from central station. Property was average, but a good price. Check in was quick and the guy very friendly. Got upgraded from a single to a double room. Room was spacious and included a fridge and kettle. There was construction in a nearby building which was loud. Otherwise good stay.

A decent little hidden-hole

It's perfectly fine for what it is: a cheap place to sleep, very close to Sydney Central station. The staff are friendly and there's a decent pub right next door.
