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.

This place does not meet the minimum standards to offer rooms. Not sure how it passed inspection. Also staff are rude and has 0 empathy to understand train services get affected by heavy rain and are unwilling to accommodate urgent customers needs. This place is not even good for homeless people.

Pretty basic, good for one night. The shared bathroom only on floors 2 and up so if you’re on level 1 you have to walk up stairs. Also if arriving past 7pm did have to call for someone to come down and check you in which was fine. There was a man standing out the front with no phone charge so he couldn’t get in until I called for him. I’d make sure to have phone service and sim before arrival. Got a free upgrade to a double room which was great.

The Central Private Hotel is not a high end property but there were a number of things that made it stand out. Location, virtually right next to Central Station. Staff, a late booking and check in, not a trouble to the staff member. Facilities, the room had all facilities I required. Cleanliness, spotless, I must admit I was impressed, especially with the shine on the sink.

The property is next to Central station, so is convenient in that sense. One can catch a city tram or suburban train. The property is old, the furnishings in the room are basic, standard. Double bed, tv, sink and small bar fridge. Most rooms dont have ensuite, so sharing the bathroom, which are across the hall. The stairs are bit of an issue, particularly if you have quite a bit of luggage, or heavy luggage. There is no lift. Quite a few stairs.
