Pros:

Room is cheap and clean, has most of the essentials items. Not very noisy as the room locates at the end of the hallway. The bed is soft and comfortable.

Cons:

Room has a smell of fresh paint. Which is kind annoying, especially at night. The smell faded away after a day. No shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom.

Surprisingly good! Much better than a Pod
Pros:

Very clean and spotless including the bathrooms. Great location. I felt safe as a single female traveller. More expensive than a backpackers or a Pod but well worth it to have my own room with a kettle, sink and small fridge. Very quiet. Single bed was comfortable. Good size room.

Cons:

I wore an eye mask because the outside lights shone through the curtains but I do like it to be completely dark when I sleep so that probably wouldn't bother everyone

Nothing fancy but it is Sydney and you get what you paid for
Pros:

Friendly staff, room was as described, good location, quiet, air con

Cons:

No view from the opaque window (and giving onto a wall anyway), a bit dark, super small bathroom/toilet, we were asked to keep the bathroom door closed when and after showering as the alarm might go off otherwise
