I would stay there again.
Pros:

I liked the young fellow who worked in the kitchen for breakfast. Very polite and curious nature.

Cons:

The bed was too big for the room. A queen size bed would be better.

Toller Aufenthalt mit sehr nettem Personal und Ausblick im Zimmer auf das Opera House
Pros:

Mir hat mein Aufenthalt so gut gefallen, dass ich sogar um einige Tage verlängert habe. Das Zimmer war schön, das Bett gemütlich, ich hatte einen tollen Ausblick auf das Opera House und die Harbour Bridge (darüber freut man sich bereits morgens beim Aufwachen) und das Frühstücks-Buffet war nicht riesig, aber völlig ausreichend als Start in den Tag. Zudem kann man sehr schnell mit dem Bus oder der Bahn z.B. zum Opera House gelangen oder ca. 30 Minuten zu Fuß gehen.

Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das super nette, herzliche Personal, von dem gesamten Personal an der Rezeption bis zu dem sehr netten Mitarbeiter beim Frühstück - mir wurde die ganze Woche direkt bei Ankunft beim Frühstück ohne Nachfrage immer ein sehr guter Barista Cappuccino hingestellt, weil ich diesen in den ersten zwei Tagen bestellt hatte. Toll! 😊 Zudem durfte ich bei meiner Ankunft bereits vor 9 Uhr morgens in mein Zimmer einchecken, was nach einem sehr langen Flug einfach großartig war. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Personal für den schönen Aufenthalt, ich werde wiederkommen!

Good for price, if can fix the 2 issues being the window and shower, will definitely be a great value for money in good
Pros:

Simple bed and room in good location, cant complain for price.

Good minifridge and coat hangers.

Friendly Staff.

Cons:

Window seal wasnt fully shut, double glazed unit essentially doing nothing because of that

slight wind coming through and air gap which makes all the street noise come through

Showerhead is difficult to use as the positioning make. the water go everywhere on the door. would replace showerhead with something more effective.
