Great location, but find your own parking elsewhere.
Pros:

Great central location

Cons:

The room was smaller than expected, although well laid out. Car parking offered at $70 per night was surprisingly expensive. Prices in Sydney are less.

Great fir shows at Enmore theatre. Freindly. Trendy. Welcoming.
Pros:

Great location for Enmore theatre show.

Cons:

Romm was very small. Lights from corridor were right into room. Noise from sydney airport planes are a wake up too far at 6 am. ( NOT the hotels fault but boy they are liw and loud!)

My son and I had such a wonderful time.

Really blown away with the warm and welcoming staff, complimentary snacks etc., and the lovely greenery. The location and value for money could not have been better!!! The lady who is on during the day particularly, really made it special.

Great stay and I will stay again the next time I am in Sydney.
Pros:

It was a really nice hotel. Smooth check in. Large and clean room with all the amenities. I really liked that they provided an iron for a business traveller which is not usual these days in hotels. Close to the bus and train lines which was a bonus to get into the city quickly and easily. Nice neighbourhood with lots of restaurants.

Cons:

Wifi could have been better. It is a very vibey area which is great though can be noisy on a weekend. Was not too much of a bother though.

Pros:

Super freundliches Personal und auch der Zimmerservice auch gut. Das Hotel war nah an Bushaltestellen/Bahnstationen und auch die Läden/Speisemöglichkeiten fanden wir super.
Auch das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet, auf jeden Fall weiterzuempfehlen

Cons:

Die Austattung der kleinen Küche war für Nudeln ausreichend sonst aber etwas knapp

Fantastic location, unique industrial dtyle hotel
Pros:

The room was large & comfortable. I arrived very late (11:30pm) and the staff were very friendly and easy to contact for late check-in.
I loved the style of the hotel - very industrial - & the artwork & live plants made it feel very unique.

Cons:

The tv remote was very finicky - the centre/enter button rarely worked properly. But that's a very minor thing to complain about.

Pros:
