The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable but noisy due to the live band in the hotel bar. However, the service was outstanding with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The location was perfect and extremely convenient, but there were occasional disturbances, probably from surrounding air conditioning units. The dining experience was ordinary, although better priced than some competitors. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel has some positives like having a bath in the room which was great, but the lack of air conditioning, TV, and the disappointing view of a brick wall were drawbacks. The room wasn't ready until 1.5 hours after the check-in time, which was inconvenient.

Our stay was situated right by a noisy fan, but the room was small yet efficient for a quick stay with our two children under 10. The service was not overly friendly during check-in, lacking details, but still decent. The location wasn't as close to key spots we were looking for, but the staff were friendly and helpful. The dining experience was average, and the buffet had some issues with food placement. Overall, it was an okay stay with some drawbacks.

I had a good stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and quiet, perfect for a good night's sleep. However, they needed a good clean initially as there was a slight stale cigarette smell. The mornings were a bit noisy due to the proximity to the utility area. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to meet our needs, but there was an unfortunate misunderstanding about the mini bar restocking. The location was ideal for exploring on foot, with easy access to transportation and dining options. The dining experience was decent but on the expensive side. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor hiccups.

When we entered our room, the air con was on, and it was very clean with good blackout blinds. The room was comfortable and had all the essentials; however, it was a bit dusty and old, and there were no slippers provided. The hotel's location was perfect, just a 2-minute walk from great restaurants, and it was ideal for sightseeing in Sydney without needing public transport. The service was supportive and helpful overall, although there were some issues with the alarm and check-out calls. The dining experience was average; the food was not enough for everyone, and the staff could be friendlier. The facilities were decent but not exceptional.
