The hotel is old but lovely and clean. Facilities in the room were excellent so was the continental breakfast. Staff went above and beyond to help us. We will definitely stay there again.

One stay is enough
The location is great for transportation. The photos on line are very nice. The hotel is a dump. Marginal maintenance and absolutely minimum facilities.
The bartenders that run the place are really helpful and friendly people.

Nice place to stay but can get noisy.
Nice place to stay and very conveniently located near to Darling Harbour. But room is a bit dated, especially the bathroom and place can get noisy even late into the night.

Clean and comfortable. If you are noise sensitive, take earplugs. Road is very busy and whilst the music in the pub wasn’t overly loud, you will hear it. Food and drink very reasonable price and tasty. Fantastic service.

3mins walk to ICC. Room is clean but look much smaller than pictures, a bit of noisey before midnight due to the bar understair. Bar ordered food is average. Staff are friendly and helfpful.

Excellent budget hotel! Despite being over a bar our room was very quiet and there was a great balcony to overlook the street below.
