Pros:

La ubicación. La habitación espaciosa, que tenía televisión. Aire acondicionado funcionaba muy bien. Tollla y jabón.

Cons:

El baño, podría haber algún mueble para poder apoyar las pertenencias, sobre todo a la hora de bañarse, luego las duchas están colocadas a una altura poco considerada, podrían estar un poco más altas.

Interference
Pros:

Location is convenient and when the Korean manager is there it is satisfactory.

Cons:

But when the weekend Bangladeshi students are responsible for the hotel there is always issues. I caught one staff member standing outside my room for an unreasonable length of time(Why...) and then race off as I quickly went to my door. Worse the TV system is managed by WiFi and three times my TV was turned off while I was watching the TV, the channel changed and google suddenly came on. Worse after turning my TV off at the power then going out one day I returned to find the TV power turned back on. Somebody is messing with the system and someone turned the power back on to the TV whilst I was out. The manager said apologies for the inconvenience. That is not the point, the point is some staff member is deliberately disrupting and letting me know they can disrupt me, and entering a do not disturb sign and turning on my TV at the power. Plain Bad. And after observing one of the staff member's behaviour during my stay, too often coming out of a room, when I come out of my room or approaching me in the corridor as I leave the toilet of when going to leave the building. It happened too many times to be a coincidence. He has control issues and if I was running the hotel both would be out immediately. The manager I believe is being fooled into thinking they are upstanding staff. I will not be returning

Comfortable but minimal - exactly what I needed.
Pros:

This was one of very few places I could find in Sydney that was relatively cheap without needing to share a dorm room. It was great for what I needed - very central (easy walking distance to Central Station, and I walked from the hotel to everywhere I visited during my trip), and a comfy bed.

Cons:

The downside of being central is that the room gets a lot of traffic noise: you could often hear sirens and car horns going past in the evening. This didn't particularly bother me, but may be an issue if you're a light sleeper.
