Second time staying here and standard has dropped significantly since our last stay just 13 months ago. Air con did not work sufficiently, tv did not work and were moved to an alternate room. Bed and pillows were stiff and not feel luxurious. Parking is no longer an option at the property and when we called the staff only offered the hospital car park as an alternate. Room smelt like cigarettes. Very sad because our last stay was wonderful. Sadly will not return.

everything was perfect - to the size and cleanliness of the room to the staff assistance at checkin and checkout. Its my new favourite place to stay in SYD! The only point I'd make is it would be great to have water provided in the fridge.

Disliked: Staff & service
Security of bags being kept by staff prior to check in was concerning. I tried to check in at 1:45pm (15 minutes prior to the check in time) and the room was still not ready. When I returned to check in at 5:45pm, my bags were still left in the lobby and not in our room.

Great Location and Value

Great location near Paddington, Surry Hills and short walks to Double Bay etc. Great onsite bar - Busby's where the staff are friendly and accomodating. Front desk are lovely and helpful. Also a great pool and bar to enjoy cocktails and food on a balmy sunny evening. Well priced for the smaller room which was all I needed when conducting business during the day. The room I was in was a little musty but the building is old and it had been raining lots! No leaks in room luckily.
