I've stayed here once before several years aga and the place needed work then and all I can say is that it needs a whole lot more now. Pros: location, reasonable price (for the area), friendly staff Cons: the rooms need a LOT of work. I'll start with the easy stuff. 1. Painting, (such an easy thing to do) but... More

If you are looking for a centrally located and affordable place to stay and don't want a backpacker hostel, this is the next best thing. Don't expect anything fancy, but it works for the few days you will stay in Sydney. Very friendly, helpful staff.

My guidebook said that this was a nice boutique hotel with bohemian style, how far from the truth this was. The room smelled like mildew and had construction lights sticking out of the wall. I could see staying here if it were $30 a night, but it is not. Stay away from this hotel. I would recommend the Kirketon Hotel... More

Small clean room with air con and small clean bathroom. The room I was in as a small double on the lower floor above a night club and was very noisy. Ask to move higher if you are a light sleeper. Staff were friendly and helpful. Wi-fi was excellent strength and cheap. Definitely no issues with price and location. Absolutely... More

Where to begin......firstly the smell of cigarette smoke was minor in comparison to the noisy air conditioner with exposed wires stored in a gaping hole in the wall. The bathroom where the tiles had been painted over with ordinary paint which was peeling off also seemed minor as did the carpet covered in stains. Maybe for a clean bed and... More

Though in a great location this accommodation was over priced. I was appalled by the condition of the room on arrival. The room was dirty and run down. The shower/bathroom were the most disappointing...could feel the presence of the last guest in a disturbing way!! DONT STAY HERE. Rated 3 stars should have been rated 1.

I was appalled and disgusted by this hotel. Filthy, blood on the carpet, extremely loud, bed bugs, stained sheets...the list goes on. The woman on 'reception' lied to us and said that the extremely loud noise coming from an air vent would stop at midnight but it went on all night. On top of this we were kept awake by... More

Dirty room, dirty linen, dirty, mouldy bathroom...and we had the better balcony room (with a broken balcony chair)! The worst stay we had in Sydney. Avoid.
