It was a clean room, but had a depressing outlook. It would no doubt be different in the ocean-side rooms.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

I think it is a reflection of the Sydney market but I thought it was highly priced for what it was.

Reasonable.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

TV was not turned on at the power point so I had to stand on a chair (not safe) to turn it on. I also had to turn it off at night as the white light kept me awake. The shower head was too high fo me to reach and the water flowed close to the wall so I had to stand right near the taps to access water flow.

Should have splurged on a beach view room
Pros:

Location is perfect, a hotel with some character and charm. Interesting blend of hotel and hostel with a communal kitchen and outdoor seating area

Cons:

I had one of the “cheaper”rooms. No view and a bit dark but perfectly comfortable
