Worst hotel I have ever stayed in

to compare this hotel to a US hotel Motel 6 would be a luxury! The room contained a bed, tiny wardrobe, a lamp and phone. The bathroom had 2 very thin bath towels, a bathmat, no hand towel, tiny soap for shower, no bath! After our 18 hr plane journey from the States, I was beyond caring. Took 2 sleeping pills turned on white noise machine but could not sleep with the constant music beat from night-club underneath my room. By 3 am I figured it will stop soon, went to front desk and was told it has nothing to do with them, it just happens to be underneath!!! He told me to be out of room by 10 and they would move us to a quieter room. Packed up once more out by 10 but no room ready for us! After several hours got room on second floor, quieter but no window. After paying close to $1,000 for six nights I could not believe how bad this was

Good location, friendly staff

The hotel is a lot cleaner than the Great Southern Hotel I stayed at a few days earlier. The front desk staff was cheerful and helpful. The hotel didn't charge a fee to store my suitcase for 3 hours after check-out while I shopped before being picked up by the airport shuttle.

Go to Coles in the World Square Shopping Plaza for things like fresh fruit, snacks, soda, bottled water, Nurofen, pastries, etc.

Very close to Central, China Town,

Very close to Central, China Town, with all it's restaurants, Paddy's Market & transport to get downtown or Darling Harbour etc. Staff were extremely helpful & efficient - especially when the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. I had a petite double & it was excellent, with a great shower, although my room was in full view of all the workers next door, but private at night. Would definately recommend & hope to stay there again.

The hotel is located right in

The hotel is located right in the city easy to walk to most places from there. But the rooms ARE small, no space for 2 normal bags ( and ours were rather small), not even a space to put your clothes .. a hook or 2 on the wall would help, bedding is average and my husband had to sleep on the floor. I asked to be upgraded to a somewhat larger room ( which was done willingly) but I had to pay an extra 20$ so that we could both sleep in bed! all in all a pricey hotel for the comfort it provides. The staff are helpful and willing to help.

Smart and honourably renovated

Smart and honourably renovated building. Pyoung lovers. Reception and Housekeeping staff are VERY helpful etite double is very petite, so worth upgrading but still good enough if you are and charming. If you like glamour and marble floors this hotel is not for you. If you like somewhere clean and smart to lay your head own on a budget then this place is for you.

awesome place to stay. only complaint

awesome place to stay. only complaint i can think of is there is no bin in the sleeping area and the bathroom bin is very small, there is no bins outside of rooms to put rubbish, have to pile it up in room. good size room for 4 people. shower rose was the best one eva. maybe the motel could invest in an ice machine as nearest place you can buy ice is coles about a k down the road and if u come from nth QLD we like to have ice for yr rum & coke. other than that will stay there again and again.

Central location a plus but quite

Central location a plus but quite a lot of street noise and a noisy but efficient airconditioner. Liked the lounge area. I am an earlier riser than my wife and son so could go there and let them sleep in whileI had a morning cuppa and read the paper.
