Really enjoyed my stay and will be back
Pros:

Comfortable apart from no chairs. Clean and had everything I needed. Lovely products. Spacious with lovely big windows.

Cons:

I worried about early or late access. Leaving at 7 and coming back at 9 for instance. I was able to access thru front though so that helped.

Great for location but rooms a little lacking in supplies.
Pros:

Great location near the Beach , cafe, and an excellent pizza place. Clean & pleasant decor

Cons:

A bit basic with the supplies in the room. For example only English breakfast tea, no other choice. Would have liked at least 1 herbal choice. Rooms quite small but adequate for a night.

A gem in a prime location - quintessential Sydney
Pros:

Waterfront location, bus to the airport, Bondi Junction and Central on the door step. Great bistro, safe, clean and super comfortable bed.

Cons:

If you are a light sleeper and staying on the weekend - please request city facing room.
