The pub on the first floor was loud, but it was not a problem on the fourth floor where I stayed. My whole family could get a good stay at a very good price and a good drink at the pub. The traffic sound was a bit loud because the hotel is located in the center of the city.

This is in a good location in Sydney and a very cheap price, note the bathrooms are shared which was ok for me. Good for those who want a roof over their heads and nothing more. I would stay here again, the pub downstairs has a good happy hour and dinner specials every night

Great location and a very charming building and pub. Staff were friendly and professional, also we were able to store our bags after check out so we could get out & about before heading to the airport. Good value for money. If I stay again I would just bring some ear plugs as the street can be quite noisy throughout the night (not from patrons but vehicles etc).

The hotel doesn’t really have a reception so be aware when checking in. We had to go to the bar to find someone which is slightly unusual. Even though it is above a bar it was quiet and did have a lift. There was also luggage storage which was great.

Central location. Good value. Staff were helpful. Main downside is the street noise. This is an old building with poorly sealed single glazed windows in a busy area day and night. If you can live with that then i would recommend.
