Excellent value for money, lovely helpful staff, serviced the rooms daily, apartment had everything we needed especially
Pros:

Great location, apartment was a great size, balcony is great

Cons:

Only niggly part is getting the suitcases up the stairs to check in and having to check in at the place across the road but the staff were really helpful in helping to carry all our very heavy bags!

Pros:

The hotel's location is good.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the check-in reception is in a different building from the accommodation, and there is no lift to Level 2. I had to carry my luggage up and down the stairs during both check-in and checkout. While the staff were somewhat helpful, this setup is far from ideal.
The lack of accessibility is a serious concern—especially for guests with knee issues, those using wheelchairs, or families with prams. This limitation should be clearly disclosed on the hotel’s website or during booking so guests can make an informed decision.

ロケーション最高。
Pros:

市内中心部でロケーション最高。ダーリンハーバー近くでシドニー水族館などにすぐ行けるし、ショッピングする施設もすぐ近くでした。駅にも近いので遠くに行くにも便利だと思いました。
部屋の広さは4人家族に十分で満足しました。

Cons:

設備はもろもろ古いのと、グラウンドレベルより上の1階だったからか浴室にいた小さな虫を何匹か自分で駆除しました。
