Pros:

George was really kind and Room 9 good equipped and spacious for two people. You even have a nice sitting place with couch and chairs.
You can easly walk to Kings Cross, there are also two buses nearby so you can reach all main attractions. Also the breakfast at the philippono
café downstairs is nice and many other options are in walkable distance. I would stay again.

Pros:

Positivesa:
The location is good. It is not far from the city center and is right next to the bus station. The room itself is just "okay."
Internet speed in room 2 is very good.
No noise observed.

Cons:

We stayed at this hotel from 14/05/2026 to 17/05/2026.

Room 2.

Despite a very good first impression after a short morning chat with a man and woman (who seemed to be the owners), the rest of our experience was very disappointing.

1) Cockroaches in the room
On 15/05, when we returned to the hotel, we found two cockroaches, including one inside our bed. We killed one and reported it to the owner, but the second one scurried away somewhere in the room.

Over the next three days, the owners offered no apologies, took no action, and made no effort to resolve or prevent the issue. Their only "recommendation" was for us to leave our rubbish outside the room so they could clear it (even though we had absolutely zero rubbish in the room).

We have lived in Asia for four years, and this is our first time experiencing this in a hotel. Even though we understand pests might be considered "normal" in an older building on the second floor, we still expected a formal apology and some basic action to solve the problem.

2) Unnecessary disturbances
If it weren't for the first issue, I probably wouldn't even mention this and the following point. We arrived very late after our flight; there is no need to bang on the door at 9:30 AM and wake up your guests.

3) Cleanliness issues
Overall, the room looked clean but felt nasty. There was a bad smell coming from the bathroom, and we found stains on the "clean" towels.

The owners often state in their review replies that "you get what you pay for." However, I should point out that just a couple of stations away, you can book a one-year-old excellent hotel for a cheaper price. Where we stay after staying here.

Pros:

Tyckte om läget.

Cons:

Luktade äckligt. Mögel i duschen. Fläckar på lakan. Inget ordentligt lås på dörren.

Pros:

L'emplacement

Cons:

Le cafard dans ma chambre, la douche qui fuit et la difficulté à régler la température, le rapport qualité-prix était clairement pas la meme pour sydney. Et le stores sont quasi inutiles puisque toute la lumière passe.
