Room a bit spartan and carpet a bit threadbare but all very clean and lovely bathroom. Kettle was a big plus and there was also a microwave and fridge with milk for our tea. Very convenient for Wynyard station trains to Circular Quay and direct to Airport. Easy with luggage.

Great place to stay. Bathrooms shared and clean. Room clean. Staff friendly. Held our bags before checkin so we could wander. Easy checkout. There will be noise because it's above a pub. AC was great white noise. Great location as a jump spot for touristy things. Reasonable price. Expect these things and it's a 5 star experience.

The room was spacious and clean. The shared bathroom was always clean. Tea & coffee in the room was nice to have. We arrived on January 1st (holiday) & the bar (where we were to check in) was closed. No clear communication how to check in on a holiday. There was a phone # on the door that we were able to contact someone & we got let in. The staff were great - very friendly.

This was a good place to stay for a short amount of time. Our room was clean, supplied with a fridge, table, 2 chairs & 3 beds which we did not need, but would be great for a family. it was a corner unit right on York Street, so we were thankful that we travel with earplugs. Beds were comfortable, pillows not so much as they are “pitiful”. We had a private bathroom in our room which was great. We were only given 2 large towels when we first arrived and then the next day we had a hand towel and a bath mat appear. Close to everything we needed to make our trip enjoyable. It is an old hotel on a very busy road in the CBD & it is also a very popular hotel when work is done, so people spill out onto the sidewalks and they stay late. The price was the main draw and overall you get what you pay for.

Location was brilliant. Close to train station so easy to access from airport. Pub it's above was very popular, good food/drink deals. While room was outdated it was clean and all you need for a couple of nights stay. A bit of street noise but manageable. For the price I highly recommend this place.

Great location for exploring the city. The staff were super kind, and the shared bathroom and toilet were totally fine. The room wasn’t brand new, but it was very spacious, and since I was out most of the time, it was more than enough for a good night’s sleep. I’ll definitely come back 😊

Our room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms accessible and clean. The building construction noise across the street was not welcome at 3am but not the fault or within the control of the hotel. Attempted to have a meal for dinner but the pub was so chock a block full that we had to go elsewhere.

We were next to the elevator, and the only problem we had with that was it interfered with the tv reception when it was in use. Shower and toilet facilities were clean and the shower was like a waterfall. Would recommend and loved to stay again.
