Good value
Pros:

A good value for money option to visit Newtown & for the airport and a good price. The room was large, had good furniture and everything we needed.

Cons:

Initially I was pleased we were in a room at the back furthest away from any road noise but there was a persistent loud background hum from something like an industrial extraction/air con unit. Okay if you like to sleep with white noise - I used ear plugs.

Good value for Sydney, comfortable and clean with easy access to central Sydney attractions.
Pros:

The property was easily accessible from the car park. There was a lift to the second floor. The room was spacious and nicely presented with a private bathroom. Easy to get to the city. Sydenham train station was about ten minutes walk and just a credit card was required to swipe on and off.

Cons:

I was surprised there was no fridge in the room. Just a small fridge would make a difference to keep perishable food items.
Better signage would be good to make it clear where to check in.

Don’t expect a hotel 😂 good for short stay but that’s it
Pros:

The bedroom was basic but very clean and tidy and comfy

Cons:

Going up to the rooms, it did not have an elevator, so I had to carry my heavy suitcase up the stairs
