Passer kanskje backpacking, men prisen er altfor høy.
Pros:

Beliggenheten

Cons:

Veldig lite og trangt rom uten garderobe og safe. Baderommet lignet et handicap bad, med spesialtilpasset wc og dusj. Veldig stygt og sterilt uten oppbevaring eller flisbelagt. Rommet ble betegnet som «Deluxe». Veldig ironisk.

地點好，但房間老舊且小
Pros:

飯店提供的早餐店拿鐵很好喝，飯店地理位置很好。

Cons:

但是房間偏小，免強同時打開兩個行李箱，大樓有點老舊，晚上起床有看到蟑螂。

Pros:

Sehr gute Lage, vieles fussläufig erreichbar. Es war sehr sauber und das Zimmer hatte alles, was man für einen kurzen Aufenthalt braucht.

Cons:

Das Einzelzimmer ist wirklich sehr sehr klein, mit Koffer und Handgepäck im Zimmer kommt man kaum ums Bett ins Badezimmer. Aber wie gebucht: petit:) Koffer hinlegen geht nicht. Wenn man sich dessen bewusst ist: wirklich ein schönes und sauberes Stadthotel.

Pros:

The location was convenient to public transportation and very central. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, room size was as described in the listing. The gym equipment was also sufficient. Staff were friendly and helped quickly replace the bedside lamp that wasn't working.

Cons:

The air in room 608 was uncomfortably humid, despite setting the air-conditioner to dry mode. I would suggest that a de-humidifier be added. Additionally there is quite a large gap under the door. Aside from being a privacy/security concern, this also means hallway light and noise from both the open stairwell and the elevator just outside the room door can be disruptive during the night.

When I used the gym, the air-conditioning was not working, and it doesn't have windows for alternative ventilation.

Pros:

Beds are comfortable, the small couch and table are also handy to work and relax. The location is also ideal when using public transportation.

Cons:

The peep hole of the door has no cover. So the light of the corridor bleeds into the room. A microwave would also have been nice.

Worth the stay and highly advise couples looking for a two night stay, this js your affordable place
Pros:

The room was small however for two people it worked out fine. Given we were out most of the time. By the time we spent time in the room and especially some quality time together the room suited our needs. The little seated area was fun to use and fun to chill in.

Cons:

If there could be more towels and possible some sports or movie channels.

Cons:

The bath towel was not clean.

The accommodation didn't provide parking, nor did it offer any discounts. We ended up paying AUD 285 for parking for two nights, which was a terrible experience.

Clean, modern, central location, friendly staff.
Pros:

Friendly staff & great central location for exploring Sydney CBD. Everything within walking distance! The room and facilities were very tidy and modern. Nice coffee machine in the room too, which was a bonus.

Cons:

I did find it a bit noisey on the Saturday night with the Pub nearby. Also I noticed the beds were not made properly when my room was "refreshed."
