Perfect budget accommodation
Pros:

The check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow. The room was clean and comfortable. Very quiet. It was very close to public transport via train or bus and plenty of food options around Kings Cross. For what seems like a tiny room there actually ended up being plenty of space to store everything, spread out and relax without feeling cramped.

Great location
Pros:

Location was great. Bathroom was clean.

Cons:

Water pressure in the shower was pretty weak. TV was pretty old and was not a smart TV (cant watch netflix, etc). Pillows were thin. A microwave would be great

Pros:

O quarto é muito amplo, com dois ambientes, banheiro excelente e limpeza diária (não limpam nos finais de semana). Não tem café da manhã, mas há muitos cafés pelas redondezas e também é possível comprar coisas no mercado e tomar café no quarto, há uma mesa com uma janela ampla com vista para rua, toda arborizada.

Cons:

Os lençóis são todos manchados. Dá para perceber que estão limpos, mas com manchas que não saem mais e isso pode causar uma baita má impressão.

It was a lovely stay. We were mostly touring during the day, and came back to the room at night to rest, no problems wi
Pros:

Location - around 5-minute walk to Kings Cross train station, and local bus stops. Close to supermarkets, fast food, and restaurants. Has a really nice cafe just below the property. They offered sunscreen lotions at the lobby for everyone to use during a sunny day.

Cons:

No elevator. It might be tricky if bringing heavy baggage. Internet is sometimes slow or malfunctions.

Gute Verkehrslage, jedoch leicht abgenutzte Unterkunft
Pros:

Das Hotel ist fußläufig zur Bahnstation Kings Cross gelegen und bietet viele Restaurants in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, bemüht und zuvorkommend.

Cons:

Die Unterkunft ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen: das Bett ist schon sehr durchgelegen, so dass man die Sprungfedern spürt; die Geräte sind etwas abgenutzt.

Cons:

房間沒有提供房客是否需要打掃的掛牌，我們不知道打掃人員每天會進入房間更換床單，我們放在床上的東西都很粗魯的被丟在地板上。
打掃人員還表示我們不能每天更換毛巾。

Great location at good price point. Friendly and helpful host.
Pros:

Location excellent for walking around central Sydney. Quiet end of street with great restaurants a very short walk away. Cafe for breakfast next door and a
Launderette 2 doors down.

Cons:

Flight of stairs to ground floor to carry a heavy case up. Room clean but basic. Take a phone plug as no usb sockets in room. Bathroom could use an update but clean and tidy.
