In my room there's an unrepaired hole in the wall. The phone didn't work, the fridge was warm, no closet, no control of room temp and it was cold. The bed is on rollers and you can't get in it without it rolling away from the wall. Corners for room were filled with dust and dirt. The carpets in the corridors were dirty and stained, many stains.

The hotel was conveniently located for a festival we attended in Sydney. The staff was friendly and greeted us accordingly. The room is just big enough for two, so if the plan is to be out most of the time it will accommodate you.

My new fave place to stay for any medical/RPA visits. Clean, quiet room with an above average bed. Good hot water and love the Ink and Water toiletries. So close to buses and across the road from inner city park and bustle. Plenty of dining and entertainment with Broadway shopping centre. Friendly staff at front desk, happy to see me and store my bag for a few hours. My only suggestion is having a rubbish bin in the room and not just a bathroom bin. Thanks, I’ll def be back 😁

Not a great stay.

Room had no windows. Nobody made the room in 3 days. There were no glasses in the room. No toaster or cutlery and when we went downstairs into the dining area even though there was a kitchen it was I'll equipped with only a sandwich toaster and microwave. There was no toaster or tea towels or even plates.

We forgot an item in the fridge. We called to request to keep it for us. We rang early enough 11am so that the room is not cleaned. We physically went back just to find out the cleaner threw the item away. They could have called us back and let us know. Bad customer service. The location is bad and no car park available even to just off load the luggage. We will not stay there again.

This property was easy to central to where we wanted to be. No parking out front or on property and staff suggested local shopping centre. Arundel St, 4 mins walk away had free parking on Sunday only which was fine for us. Hotel room was basic and clean, no windows to the outside but fine for price. Staff were helpful and it was quiet. I’d stay there again.

Confusing and disappointing

I was very confused by the website's vague approach to the parking availability. "Parking available" meant a tiny spot at the back, if available, then walk around the block back to reception, or parking at the Broadway shopping centre for $46 a day. When I rang from my car I was answered very nicely but not helpfully and the second time told that Reception would ring me, which they never did. Having found the tiny car park I walked around to the reception where I was greeted very nicely but confusedly. My payment couldn't be found as I booked through Hotels.com but they were looking for an Expedia payment. The amount on my credit card differed from my receipt, which was in US$. I ended up paying again, then, when it came to get a refund it had to be done in 2 goes as they have a $200/d limit. The staff were uniformly lovely but the system was cumbersome and confusing. There was no a/c in the room and the facilities were basic (a mini fridge, a kettle). The bed was comfortable, it was clean, and the bathroom was adequate only.
