DO NOT STAY HERE - worst place we have ever stayed
Pros:

Nothing- dreadful

Cons:

The room was dirty and smelt overpoweringly of urine.
Rusty or broken items ( kettle etc)
Fire alarm went off at 6.30am - no fire safety signs, no fire exits and no one arrived to check the building or that customers were safe. We were never told it was a false alarm and spent one hour on the street in our pj’s. Left the building. , as not confident we were safe.

Pros:

The room was large clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The location was so noisy. My room faced a 5 way intersection with busy traffic most of the night. Other pubs I have stayed at had double glazed windows which blocked out nearly all of the noise. I am lucky I took earplugs, otherwise I would bearly have slept.

Hotel que no invita pasar más tiempo que salvo para dormir
Pros:

La ubicación, es un punto intermedio entre el centro de Sydney a 40 min en bus, y las zonas de playa 30 min andando.
El personal es simpático

Cons:

El ruido, al tener un bar abajo se escucha la música hasta altas horas de la mañana.
Las cucarachas, encontramos 5 en los 2 primeros días. Algo inevitable, pues los suelos son antiguos y con grandes fisuras por donde se cuelan. Aunque la habitación es grande, se echa en falta mas mobiliario para guardas ropa o cajones.
