The room is spacious enough for one person or a couple to stay multiple nights. The building itself seems a little dated but maintained well to function as a hotel. The location is not typical tourist area or business precinct but quite comfortable to be in.

The location was excellent as it was very close to the Paddy's market, Chinatown, Sydney Fish Market and the Darling Harbour! But far enough to be in a quiet area. We occupied 2 rooms and the staff was kind enough to arrange for connecting rooms, which was helpful as we were traveling as a family. Rooms were very clean, well maintained and had nice balconies. All amenities in the hotel room was up to expectation. The free coffee and tea at the reception area was a welcome plus.
