We stayed 6 nights, overall was a somewhat enjoyable stay. The room was very small, however it has aircon and a TV. Unfortunately the room itself was not the cleanest when we came in. There was old food in the mini fridge from the last people, and hair inside the drawers/ on the shower walls. The toilet seat didn’t sit in place and the bathroom tap wasn’t in the best condition either. Otherwise it was in a good location (close to the train station) and was nice and quiet.

Comfy little hotel!

Super close to Redfern and Central train stations, and honestly much better than i was expecting for the price! It was only a tiny room, but the shower pressure was amazing and soundproofing was also great considering how busy it is right outside with traffic and trains!

Awesome

Why pay more for a hotel? Clean, great water pressure for the shower, friendly service. Regarding the noise from the train line, it's not as bad as other reviews say. Just bring ear plugs if you are worried :)! Highly recommended!

You get what you pay for

Room had not been properly cleaned: under the bed hadn’t been swept, and there was mould in the bathroom from consistent poor cleaning. Bed was terribly uncomfortable with the worst pillows I’d ever slept on. The room was loud, all night you can hear the train nearby, as well as people walking down the hallway. The entire hotel also has a weird smell. Staff were nice.

Room was small but clean and secure. Location is great for the price, one stop by train from sydney central. Of our 3 night stay, 2 nights good, but one night very noisy due to rowdy guests in next room.

Manager was friendly on arrival and the room was clean neat and tidy but floors were polished concrete and room was tiny with no coffee or tea making facilities. Room was very noisy from trains running all night and other guests coming in during the night so unable to get any sleep.
