Not quite a 4 star
The staff "forgot" to make up my room one day. The elevator was not working 2 days. the WiFi was not working one day. The breakfast was frugal - no eggs, the coffe was instant (good coffee costs extra)

This boutique hotel was an absolute pleasure to stay in. I was only there for the one night but the amenities were great, breakfast inclusion was also great as was the location. However the key standout has to be the staff! Cheska and her young male colleague were brilliant at ensuring the stay met my expectations and they sure did, even exceeded them!
Thank you for being caring humans and treating all your guests as the individuals they are. Thanks again!

Enjoyed our stay. It felt safe and secure for me and my teenage daughter. Walking distance to light rail and we enjoyed the area. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Would stay there again :)

While the bed was a bit firmer than I’d like the staff went up and beyond being helpful and supportive.

Very small and out dated, for the location definitely overpriced.
Staff were great but the website should advertise that your breakfast is only continental which it doesn't.

A bit of a find within easy walking distance of Central. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The included breakfast (toast, cereal, fruit) was a bonus not often found these days in Australian hotels. The staff were pleasant. Good value for money.

Great place with very friendly and helpful staff and owners. Had everything that was needed, was very comfortable, breakfast was good, location is great with short walk to to China Town, Paddy's Market, tram, buses or Darling Harbor and Fish Market.
