Excellent value for money. Clean. Warm. Not noisy:)
Pros:

Great location.
Excellent value for money.
Photos are good representations of the rooms. Clean, warm, tidy.

I stayed over a weekend, directly above the ‘rooftop bar’ and opposite the toilets. Was really pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t noisy. At night, you could hear the pub below but it wasn’t loud. By 12.15am, silence.
The only noise was traffic in the morning. I’m a night owl anyway so the noise didn’t bother me at all. Rooms are 2 floors up from the pub itself, so there would be other rooms that would be even quieter.

Bathrooms and toilets were clean, and they were cleaning products there anyway if you wanted to clean them further. Sukin products in showers. Just pack thongs to wear and you’re set.

Thai food in the bar was excellent.

Cons:

Nothing I didn’t like, but to note:
- rooms are up 2 flights of stairs. Pack accordingly.
- check in at the bar. Don’t be a loser like me and walk past the patrons with your bags to the sign that says ‘accommodation’, trying like heck to get the door open 🤣🫣
- in your room there’s a sign that says the door will lock behind you when you leave. Mine only did that if the lock was snibbed! So make sure it’s locked when you go out.

Fabulous location. Very comfortable and clean but a lot of stairs.
Pros:

In great proximity to the St Vincent’s hospital and restaurant and cafes. Quite a few stairs to get to room and only shared bathroom facilities. However very comfortable rooms, all rooms and amenities are very clean. It was last minute booking and staff were very accomodating. We ended up staying two nights. Would stay here again.

Pros:

It’s a pub room. So expectations should be managed around that. But it was clean, comfortable, quiet and the staff were great.

Recepção é com o garçom do bar
Do quarto dá pra ouvir a balada do bar o que atralha a dormir
Podia ser mais limpo, nao valeu a pena

Ideal place to stay in Sydney suburbia
Pros:

The bar itself is really popular and nice to go to. It’s sits in a nice area outside the city centre which is a nice place to base yourself with great cafes and restaurants nearby. The shared bathrooms were great - I didn’t see anyone else using them during our stay.

Cons:

It can be slightly noisy at night - we arrived on a Wednesday and there was a heavy bass noisy through until midnight but every other night including the weekend was fine.

Comfortable place in a nice neighbourhood
Pros:

The hotel is in such a nice neighbourhood, not too
far from both city centre and airport. The room is nice and clean. The shared bathroom is always clean.

Cons:

During the weekday stay is fine, but if you stay over the weekend nights, it can be loud and you can feel the vibration from the bar downstairs.
