Affordable but not all that comfy
Very convenient to the train station. No frills room, questionable cleanliness, moderate comfort. Affordability and location are the best features.

Good location for great price
The Hotel is in Chinatown and the staff are very helpful. For such a cheap price, I think it's a great deal considering it's a clean hotel with great review

Would recommend
Good hotel close to Central Station so ideal for our needs. Reception staff efficient and helpful. It has a restaurant which does a good breakfast including gluten free options but not many GF choices on the evening menu. However plenty of eateries nearby (mostly Chinese and Thai, being Chinatown area)

Convenient to Central Station
Stayed here for a couple of nights and will be returning as quite happy with the set up for a city hotel and the prices. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room was a decent size, bed comfortable and shower good. Plenty of choices at breakfast and gluten free options but could do with a better GF selection on the evening menu (maybe a pasta dish?)

A bargain inner city location.
Excellent location to tram and Central train station. Lots of restaurants around, mainly Asian as this location is close to China Town. A pleasant walk or tram ride to city centre. Dining room and hotel bar on premises. This is a popular hotel for travellers despite the rooms being a little tired. However if sparkles are not what you are after, it’s a great place to stay.

Give it a go !
Great location close to shops, transport and restaurants. Excellent for anyone cruising to/from Sydney. Tram is at the front and goes directly to Circular Quay.
Clean tidy rooms, however there is mould in the shower.

Well located but a little disappointing. Breakfast was not worth the money.
