For clarity this was for a quick overnighter to see a gig at the Hordern. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room and shared bathroom were clean and tidy. Room was small however suited the purpose perfectly. The bed was comfy however felt a bit short, I’m 186 cm so that might be why haha. Otherwise a great little spot for a quick stay. Highly recommended. I’ll keep the Alison in mind for my next visits to Sydney. 4 more in 2026 !
