Pros:

아주 만족스러웠습니다. 행복한 신혼 여행이었으며 프론트 안내원도 정말 친절하고 역과도 가까우며 객실도 매우 청결하고
가성비또한 최고였습니다. 다음에 시드니 여행을 온다면 또 방문 예정이며 너무너무 만족스러운 신혼여행이었습니다

Cons:

Average.
Pros:

The room was okay, adequate. The bed was not very comfortable

Cons:

The hotel advertises parking, but the parking is not at the hotel. They provided a terrible map. Because of all the nearby freeways etc, we had to drive quite a way to find the parking street, only to find the street blocked with roadworks. All this in the middle of a rainstorm on unfamiliar streets.

It was good. In the end they upgraded our room and still happy dur to the location of the hotel
Pros:

Location. Close to restos, cafes, Hay market, tram, grocery store
So convenient

Cons:

We arrived late at the hotel as we went out with friends. The room they gave us has a strong smell of cigarette smoke the moment you open the door. We requested a move. They moved us but it took a long time and they lack staff at the reception
