Great location and extremely well priced in the heart of the city!
Pros:

Location was great! You can get around on foot, light rail etc very close. I loved that there was underground parking available that felt safe and was very convenient. Not all inner city hotels have parking and this was a big plus for me in booking the hotel. It's a simple, basic hotel room but a gem in finding a hotel of that location and that price in Sydney!

Cons:

I didn't like that there was no food available. I believe they do a breakfast. The restaurant was there but no food available in the evenings whether to sit in or room service. The front desks displays a few items like pot noodles or crisps that you can buy. I travelled with my elderly mother who was physically limited and after a day of travelling about wanted to just eat at the hotel till we realised that wasn't a possibility.

Very satisfied for a single night stay. Will stay again when in Sydney.
Pros:

Great location near everything. Very clean, comfortable rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Toilet roll holder in an odd location making you have to sit sideways on the loo. Shower head very low for tall people.

Pros:

Beds were actually comfortable-after 3 nights I still felt like I had slept in my own bed which is rare these days with accomodation. Location was great for Chinatown and the ICC as well as darling harbour and close to the airport.

Cons:

Honestly couldn't fault the stay. Yes it's an older hotel in a suburb but for what we needed the quality of the room, the stay , the beds, and the location close to everything we needed was perfect.

Great location and price for short city break
Pros:

Excellent location, short walk to restaurants and attractions around Darling Harbour but in a very quiet residential location.

Cons:

Small mix up with room allocation but staff very quickly remedied the situation.

Probably won’t book this property again
Pros:

Our stay for two nights was ok, have stayed in worse and better for the price.
Asked for a king bed and was two singles joined together and could feel it in the middle.
Paid for the buffet breakfast and was ok nothing special and was cheaper to buy on Groupon.
The Tv reception was really poor it kept loosing signal.
Overall I probably wouldn’t book this property again for the price .
