Cleanliness

Mixed reports: several guests praised clean, spacious rooms, but multiple strong complaints about unclean rooms, bed bugs, mould, damp bathrooms, and at least one refusal to clean the room.
Service
9.8
Generally excellent: numerous comments about friendly, helpful, patient staff and good customer service; a small number of service-related issues noted but outweighed by positive remarks.
Location

Consistently praised: excellent central location, very close to the train station and light rail, convenient for sightseeing and travel.
Room Quality
7.4
Mixed: many guests report spacious rooms, comfortable beds and modern bathrooms with strong showers; others mention damaged or run-down rooms, thin walls, stuffiness and ventilation problems (even missing bathroom doors).
Amenities
7
Basic but functional: large TVs and powerful showers noted, but facilities described as basic, small luggage storage area, lifts and some public areas reported dirty, and bathroom ventilation lacking.
Value for Money
9.8
Mostly positive: many guests describe good or excellent value and reasonable pricing for the location; a minority felt the condition did not justify the price.
Food and Beverage
4
Negative mentions: breakfast described as 'absolutely terrible' and comments about restaurant/convenience problems; few positive mentions for F&B.
Overall Experience
7.6
Overall mixed: excellent location and strong service lift the stay, but recurring cleanliness and some room-quality issues (noise, ventilation, occasional damage) reduce the overall score.

Comfortable and value for money
Pros:

A little tired but this hotel is perfecty located and good value for Sydeny. If you're looking for a bed for the night without fancy trimmings and huge prices, this is a good choice. Right opposite Central Station, and next to China Town, the location couldn't be better.

Cons:

The hotel is a bit tired and needs better maintenance.

Budget friendly hotel well located for the central train station& light rail stops not too far away.
Pros:

Reasonably well located, handy next to the train station.

Cons:

Seemed a bit run down, could do with modernising, new carpet & some colour to bring it to life more. Staff could have been friendlier.

I’ve stayed there a couple of times and will stay there again. It’s a bit tired but this is probably reflected in the pr
Pros:

Very close to central station,Chinatown and the markets
Front desk staff were very accommodating

Cons:

The pillows were too high and there were no spares to swap with. And weirdly no toilet brush…

シドニーの駅近で拠点していい。
Pros:

駅が近くて、シドニー拠点には最高。
2部屋、四人で宿泊だったが、中で繋げてくれて、コネクティングルームにしてくれて、スタッフの対応に感謝。
ベットもキングベッドをシングルベッドに分割してメイキングしてくれてありがたかった。

Cons:

ユニットバスのシャワーの境が激狭で、シャワーカーテンも無く、オーバーベッドシャワーのみで、水はねに最も注意とテクニックがいる。そうでないと水はねでびしょびしょになる。洗面台も綺麗では無い。
歯ブラシも無い。
エアコンが効いたり効かなかったり。
