Generally positive service notes (staff went above and beyond for a guest) but isolated reports of an unfriendly receptionist and parking assistance requests temper the score.

8.6
Repeatedly praised across reviews for proximity to North Sydney Oval, metro, restaurants and transport links; clearly a strong point for this property.

I would stay here again. The positives definitely outweigh the negatives.
Pros:

Amazing location. Short walk to the metro, dozens of restaurants and a bus stop across the road. Super comfy beds I had a great nights sleep every night I stayed here. Surprisingly quiet given its location.

Cons:

The property is a bit dated. The bathroom left a bit to be desired, but to be fair the bathrooms (and indeed the whole property) was kept clean and tidy at all times. The walls are very thin and if there were noisy people staying you would definitely be disturbed. Facilities are bare minimum.
