Pros:

Bed was super comfy and the room was very quiet and clean. Location fab for gigs at the Enmore and plenty of good food options.

Cons:

The lobby is a bit industrial, it looks very cool but if you have a long wait it is not that comfy. I admit this should t be an issue for most as there are plenty of cafes etc but after a long haul flight I needed somewhere to work for a few hours. The bathroom isn’t the most stylish but great water pressure and overall we found the hotel a really good option.

We will stay here again when visiting our son
Pros:

it is unique with its own style

Pros:

역세권! 가까운 지하철과 버스가 최고였음. 오후 무료 맥주도 실컷 마셔서 좋았음.

Cons:

바퀴벌레가 나옴. 엄청 큰 바퀴벌레... 쓰레기통이 조금 작다. 창문이 잠기면 직원을 불러야 하는 점이 불편했다.

Würde ich sofort wieder buchen und kann es nur allen empfehlen, die Sydney erkunden wollen.
Pros:

Lage erstklassig mit allem in der Nähe, was man braucht. Bars, Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Hippes Viertel in Sydney! Gute Anbindung an den Nahverkehr. Hotelzimmer sehr sauber, alles bequem und großzügig.

Cons:

Parkplatz vom Hotel ist etwas teuer, aber man findet auch Möglichkeiten in der Nähe, wo es kostenlos oder günstiger ist.
