Clean hotel, room was nice, and Queen beds were just right Breakfast Buffett was good but on pricey side will hold bags after checkout to grab later in the day when ready to go to plane. Next to Chinatown if you love Asian food. Would stay there again

4/10 Fair

Not so good stay this time around. The aircon's temperature could not be adjusted and was not cool. Hotel management provided us with an ELECTRIC FAN! They also provided free dinner. Also, the key cards were playing up, sometimes did not unlock the doors from outside.

Reasons to always choose this hotel

Thank you to the staff You made our trip even more special! A surprise getaway with my 5 year old to attend her first concert.
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel in good neighbourhood. Room big and convenient, no outlets by the bed though Small pool with nice temperature The restaurant had lunch for 15 Aud and there were many tasty vegetarian options. Staff wasn’t really welcoming, no smiles, except for Dennis and Maxim in the reception, they were super friendly and helpful I would consider stay there again if I go to Sydney
