Pros:

Spacious, comfortable rooms; close to both city centre and food/drink options along Oxford St; comfortable bar/lounge area to hang out in

Cons:

Shared toilets could get messy but that depends on how crowded the hotel is on the night of stay

Pros:

The Terrace Room is really awesome

Cons:

The staff were too overbearing but they were polite. I just didn't like them getting the ID cards of all my guests. Also criticising me for having visitors.

Pros:

Great location right in the centre of all the action. Room was spacious and it wasn't as noisy once I decided to call it quits. You have to check in at the bar but it's pretty quiet. Lovely staff. Easy experience.

Cons:

If you need it to be quiet to sleep, you picked the wrong location! Also there are stairs, which I didn't mind, but you might! A lot of stairs!!

Lovely
Pros:

Clean, comfortable room in a great location. Luxuriously comfortable bed, climate control and good facilities. At around $100 per night its phenomenal value for this level of comfort.

Cons:

Noisy, but ear plugs help

Staff, location and room all excellent for our overnight stay.
Pros:

Excellent location. Only 1 km to Central Train station and Botanic Gardens. Neat well thought out accommodation area for small number of people. Quiet despite being on a busy street. We arrived late and had no problem checking in.

Cons:

Sharing a bathroom that was for females but being used by males. No lift to upper floor so we struggled with our bags lugging them up.

Excellent location and good value for money, but cleanliness, housekeeping and serious weekend noise issues let the stay
Pros:

I booked this quite last minute after my previous accommodation was cancelled, and for the price I paid, the value for money was very good. The location is excellent Darlinghurst is a great area, with plenty of brunch spots, restaurants and easy access into the city and surrounding areas. The shared areas of the property also appeared to be kept clean, and some members of staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

There were unfortunately a few significant issues. The property is located above a casino/bar area, and some rooms are directly affected by the noise. On Friday and Saturday nights in particular, getting a good night’s sleep was extremely difficult. I was staying here while running the Sydney Marathon, so the lack of sleep before the race was particularly frustrating.

I also found cockroaches inside the microwave, which was obviously quite unpleasant and raised concerns about hygiene. Although the general property seemed clean, my room was not cleaned once during my entire six-night stay. I’m not sure whether housekeeping is only provided on request, but this was never made clear to me.

The experience with the staff was also inconsistent some were very helpful, while others seemed fairly uninterested when assistance was needed.

Pros:

I loved the style of the room, very neat and luminous. The staff was helpful. I just hadn't realised when I booked that the toilets and bathrooms were common. But for the rest, great location, very close to oxford street and close to all the shops etc.
I had a great experience ☺️

Cons:

Just that the bathroom and toilet were separate and common, but nothing unmanageable. It was still ok and cleaned and with hot water

No hot water in the shower, air vent in the bathroom hasn't been cleaned in a long time, broken coffee machine, no staff present during the day, hard to find towels (eventually found them in a cabinet under the TV in the common room)
