Great location, even better price

The number one reason to choose this hotel is for its location. Located in a busy/bustling section of Sydney, walking distance to everything. The room was basic, but clean. The check-in process is fine. The hotel bar has a very good selection of food and wine with sidewalk seating.

I've stayed here before and would stay here again. On this occasion we were going to the Capitol Theatre so that was convenient and my granddaughter had an early flight next morning so we were close to the train to the airport. I live out of Sudney and travel in and out by train so it is good for me too. No compaints at all.

Overall a great place to stay.

Overall a great place to stay. Location was great and easy walking distance to most places in the CBD. A bus stop at the front door made getting further a breeze. The only down side was a lump in the bed.

We loved this hotel because it

We loved this hotel because it had bags of character - art deco and lots of original features, so nice after staying in modern hotels that have no personality. The staff were friendly and obliging, the room comfortable and clean with everything we needed and more. We booked an internal room thinking it would have no window but it was facing the internal atrium so was nice and quiet despite being in the city centre. A great place from where to explore Sydney.
