Gorgeous simple room in a beautiful renovated building. Escritoire clean, comfortable bed, block out blinds, hot shower, nice bar fridge and toiletries. Staff were exceptional - so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was lovely - cereal, pastries, cold cuts sitting by the fireplace. Cocktails were available during happy hour in the evening.

Poor Trip Vulcan

We were there through the Anzac weekend. At every hotel I keep a reasonable tip and request the room to cleaned and beds made. The excuses and the stories were noteworthy. The breakfast was very poor and even no bread because it was a holiday. I really had pity for the staff who have to work with owners like this. Convenient location if you know sydney

Splendid two-day business stay.

This delightful small boutique hotel was perfect for my two day business trip to Sydney. The room was simple but very clean and quite practical for my purposes. The staff could not have more helpful. I was able to get Ubers easily from the location to get around town. The Broadway shopping centre was just up the road and I was able to see a film in the few recreational hours I had at the very comfortable Hoyts cinema.
