I like the historical look of the building, located in a convenient area with a few minutes walk from the popular spots. Staffs were very helpful and friendly ( thanks Kate, it was very pleasant to have a chat with you). Room was clean and the size was just right. I enjoyed the overal atmosphere. It was not fancy yet very cozy.
the double twin bedroom is small in size
the bathroom is extremely small
the hotel is situated near university, quiet at night
~ 15mins walks to darling harbour, ~10mins walk to china town
a living cockroach was found in toilet when we checked in, and hair was found under the trash bin in toilet. We contacted the reception, and they cleaned it for us
and we were moved to another room next day.
We were there through the Anzac weekend. At every hotel I keep a reasonable tip and request the room to cleaned and beds made. The excuses and the stories were noteworthy.
The breakfast was very poor and even no bread because it was a holiday. I really had pity for the staff who have to work with owners like this. Convenient location if you know sydney
