One of my favourite stays in Sydney
Pros:

Great room, comfy bed, nice and clean. There was a cute little library where they served a small breakfast every day - just coffee, juice, yoghurt and some simple pastries. But it was really nice!
The bar staff were super friendly, and the food served in the pub downstairs is really good too.

Cons:

Lots of stairs to get up to the room, which was fine for us, but might be a bit hard for elderly or disabled people.

Pros:

Very well located hotel in the center of Sydney, the room i had was small but i didn’t mind as it had everything i needed.
The bathroom was very nice, the TV had channels included which was very nice.
A Wooly is situated close by if needed, and lots of buses are within 10 min walks which is very practical

Cons:

A bit loud because of the rooftop bar, when the clients go down the stairs you can hear them a lot from your room

Pros:

Overall good property, in a convenient location, we didn’t go to the bar or rooftop but the noise quietened down by 9:30pm and we were on the 2nd floor and a nice continental breakfast in the morning included with pastries, yogurt, fruit etc.

Cons:

It’s a bit dated in the rooms.

Overly expensive for bad quality
Pros:

The location was quite central. Not too far away from things to do.

Cons:

All the mould in the bathroom. You can't even watch TV which is just ridiculous! I especially hated the very loud air-conditioning! All I could hear all night was loud humming and the sound of water bubbling. Urghh I am so disappointed! I didn't get to sleep at all!!! The price was really overly expensive for what you got and it certainly didn't reflect it's quality. The free breakfast was really average. Would be nice if the pod machine included instructions on how to use somewhere. Both me and another couldn't work out how to use it. And also I would expect hot water from the shower instead of Luke warm water. How disgraceful!
