Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located close to the city center and within walking distance of Central station. The rooms are clean and come with most essentials, but lacking a cupboard to hang clothes. The manager claiming himself was quite helpful, offering tours and ticket assistance. The Italian dishes served were delicious, though the dining area could be improved. Overall, a convenient option with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is ideally located within walking distance of Central Station and the city center offering comfortable rooms with views, but the lack of a cupboard for hanging clothes was a downside. The service, provided by a self-claimed manager, was satisfactory with tours and ticket assistance available. The location is convenient for exploring the city center and access to the underground subway, but children walking through a nightclub nearby could be disruptive. The facilities meet expectations, with short comments suggested for added value.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The location was convenient, although there were some noise issues. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, but there were limited facilities available.
The hotel is centrally located, within walking distance of Central station and close to everything Sydney has to offer. The rooms on level 2 were updated and clean, with most essentials provided, but lacking a cupboard to hang clothes. The service was provided by a manager who claimed to be and offered tours/ticket assistance. The European dining options were available. The facilities were convenient for my stay.
