Comfy bed in a trendy location.
Pros:

We booked this room for the king sized bed - and it was worth it. The bed was very comfortable. It is a very trendy hotel in a very trendy location. They had drinks and snacks available to guests in the foyer. The room as you would expect in Sydney was quite small but it had everything you would want - a fridge, small sink and microwave, plates and cutlery. The shower was hot with good pressure. The staff super helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Be aware if arriving by car that there is nowhere to pull into at the hotel to unload. There is very limited parking behind and under the hotel - maybe 8 car bays. However at $70 per night for parking we chose to park at a Secure carpark down the road. Also because of the trendy location there is a lot of action around on the weekend nights we stayed there - it is very noisy and the windows do not block much of it!

Pros:

Good, but I couldn't work the TV. The first night I managed to get channels and watched free to air. But in the morning I couldn't find how to get the channels. So gave up!

Otherwise, it was very comfortable, and not far from RPA

Cons:

The TV too dificult for someone my age! (80).
Pillows too hard.

Overall was a lovely stay with no noise from the streets but noise was coming from cleaners instead.
Pros:

Location was convenient and the room was clean and spacious as well as comfortable.

Cons:

Cleaners were out cleaning the adjacent rooms before 8am which was noisy and could not sleep in and relax until checking out time which is at 10am.
