Pleasant Hotel marred by noisy tram

Friendly and helpful reception. Hotel location was good. Close to Central Railway Station and Murray's Bus Terminal. Hotel was clean and cozy. Room was small with no wardrobe. Unfortuntely, the Light Rail along George Street passes close to the hotel and the constant vibration as the tram trundles through is annoying.

Capitol hotel was clean and up to date in china town. You need a card to get into the hotel and up to the rooms which made it safe and secure. Walkable shopping and dinning options made it easy to get what we needed. Lightrail stop is across the street and train station is a walkable distance.
