Firstly, please note this is a budget hotel. If you're looking for a plush room with all the facilities, hotel reception areas, a bar and restaurant, this isn't the place for you. If you're looking for a basic (hence lower cost) room, that's clean and has comfortable bed(s); this may be the place for you. The staff were friendly & helpful and the hotel is situated in a great central location, ideal for using Sydney's public transport.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Dirty sheets;no milk with tea/coffee; only a sink as the basin i.e. shaving, handwashing post toilet and dish washing in the same basin; shower so close to toilet, its spray collected under toilet and meant exited shower onto toilet; only one soap and one towel; housekeeping only once in three nights despite reception saying it is daily and did not make bed; very noisy with thin walls so could hear neighbours and movement above; exiting the hotel on day 2 and I was met by police coming in (no member of staff with them); people living in the hotel, not guests, attract the police attending; on day 1, laundry from hotel strewn across footpath.

It was super easy to get around with this as home base. It was also really nice to have a sink in the room. AC was delightful after a long day outside in the sun. Very easy to find if you are arriving at the Central Station & you basically walk straight up the main street to get to the main tourist spots. Rooms were older, but clean and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the mattress. Glad they also included a "Do Not Disturb" sign for those days you're having a nap or something & don't need anything done.
