Check-in was dependent on how busy staff were and we had to wait a further hour and a half after the stated time. Very conveniently located in the CBD, basic but comfortable pub-style accommodation and surprisingly quiet considering it's central hub location

It is in the middle of Sydney with a reasonable price. If you want to stop by Sydney for shopping, it is one of best options.

Amazing hotel and central to the shopping area. Rooms were clean and cosy. Toilets are spotless and love the stay here. Only negative is that there is no lifts so you will need to carry your bag up the stairs

Great location, accomodating staff. I knew there was no elevator, so can't complain about that! Pub was great for happy hour and dinner. Bathroom was smallish and reminded me of being in an RV, but knew about that too. All in all a good place to stay for a couple of days.
