Small hotel located in Little Bourke Street near the Princess Theatre. At the top of China town so plenty of food options locally. Poor reception on the TV which turned out to be a loose aerial connection which when fixed was OK. A false fire alarm found us on the pavement at midnight but not necessarily the hotel’s fault. Don’t expect the Taj Mahal just a small clean hotel with all you need at a very reasonable price.
