Absolutely loved it here and would highly recommend and stay again if given the chance. We were well looked after from check in to check out, we stayed for 7 nights and enjoyed the bar and restaurant. Food was amazing (especially the olives) and very reasonable for Sydney. Location was perfect as we stayed during Vivid but even then it was easy to get around and great link from the airport. Thanks guys!

Four night here solo for work. Tiny rooms but very comfortable. Clean, quiet, comfortable bed, great shower and aircon. Great location with a light rail stop nearby, and Pyrmont bridge into the CBD. Aside from the small+ rooms, it otherwise ticked all the boxes with nothing to fault. Would stay again.
