The hotel was located about 15mins walk from Chippendale/central station. Rooms are very well sized and comfortable, especially for families. Generally, very clean. The hotel also provides a microwave and coffee machine in reception for all guests to use, which was very convenient.

The location was excellent as it was very close to the Paddy's market, Chinatown, Sydney Fish Market and the Darling Harbour! But far enough to be in a quiet area. We occupied 2 rooms and the staff was kind enough to arrange for connecting rooms, which was helpful as we were traveling as a family. Rooms were very clean, well maintained and had nice balconies. All amenities in the hotel room was up to expectation. The free coffee and tea at the reception area was a welcome plus.

Clean rooms, but the whole hotel had a bit of a weird vibe. Walls are quite thin so you will hear your neighbour's and sounds from outside. Staff was friendly and helpful.
