The room was clean, and well appointed. The bed was very firm (which I like). Shower ran fast and hot, which is another plus. It is very central on Oxford Street so there was occasional street noise in my room, but this did not really bother me. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a great stay. Good for people on the go, or needing to be in the Darlinghurst/Surry Hills area.
