GREAT bar and EXCELLENT, FRIENDLY staff! I missed the fine print that the bathrooms/showers are shared. Small college-type dorm rooms, but nice quiet neighborhood.Close to the fish market and Darling Harbor. The pub can't be beat. Very friendly locals, just know you don't have a private bath.

Very friendly staff and great location, close to everything, but still residential and relaxing. We were here in the fall, and I'd recommend fall or spring. The rooms do not have climate control. Windows, fans, and space heaters are all available, but I'd not recommend the hotel if climate control is essential to you.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Check-in was quick and easy in this little hotel outside of downtown Sydney, which sits above a bar. A free drink was included. Food is available at a 15% discount. We got the private room with the bathroom, but we noticed there were three common bathrooms available as well. The hotel was a few blocks from the Exhibition stop for the tram L1. Price was much cheaper than staying in the harbor area. This hotel was perfect for a short stay. It made our needs perfectly and is only about four stops away from the airport T8 train.
