The absolute BEST location in Sydney with great restaurants and bars nearby. Transport right there!
Pros:

I've stayed in all sorts of locations in Sydney and this was the best, the most convenient, there's a light rail stop right there. The staff were incredible and were able to answer all of our queries. The atmosphere at all venues near this little hotel was humming, in a really good way. We appreciated the extra large room, rare for this price.

Cons:

Luckily we stayed for four nights because it took us a while to figure out the complicated lighting. I should have asked reception for help sooner.

It looks like I have a lot of negative comments but we had a great stay and will definitely stay there again.
Pros:

Great location. Good size room.

Cons:

Hard to get picked up and dropped off coz of the entrance in a narrow lane way. The rooms are quite dark even with all the lights on. No power point in the bathroom. The step in the middle of the room is a bit of a trip hazard especially with the dim lighting. It can be a bit noisy during the night with homeless people fighting.
