Pros :- ideally placed location to explore the famous city sights
Good size bedroom (the 3 beds version) with clean comfortable beds
Nice clean shower room
Helpful friendly staff
Cons:-
It’s more of a noisy pub downstairs with rooms above than a hotel
Can be a bit noisy at night (best if on 4th or 5th floor)
Decor, carpets etc a bit worn out/tired
Verdict: ok for short stays and very central
Was good for price and dropped bags off before checkin was very convenient thanks we were going on cruise so was easy to get to cruise terminal recomend hotel
Cheap, solid and convenient last minute stay early in the week….painless checking, will use again!

Go somewhere else - it’s cheap and nasty. Rooms are very dated, shared bathroom isn’t very clean, there is no reception so you have to go to the bar staff to make requests,it’s quite loud outside and overall wasn’t very pleasant

The staff was great, provided a place to drop our bags prior to checkin time. The internet was spotty on the morning we left, but it may have just been a bad day because it was fine the day before. There were only bath towels, no hand towels or facecloths.
Good hotel for the price, it is in an amazing location near everything, however it can get a bit noisy sometimes.

It was Mardi gras weekend, so it was noisy. But it was good for the price.
A small table lamp would do wonders for them. Other than that, everything was as expected. Would recommend this place to anyone who's only staying in Sydney for a few days and doesn't mind sharing bathrooms or loud street noise till 2am.
We enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately our Room 31 was a bit smelly. It was very clean. I don’t know if it was the ventilation or the fact that the hotel is old. All the staff were friendly and the room was comfortable.
