The staff was great, provided a place to drop our bags prior to checkin time. The internet was spotty on the morning we left, but it may have just been a bad day because it was fine the day before. There were only bath towels, no hand towels or facecloths.

A small table lamp would do wonders for them. Other than that, everything was as expected. Would recommend this place to anyone who's only staying in Sydney for a few days and doesn't mind sharing bathrooms or loud street noise till 2am.

We enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately our Room 31 was a bit smelly. It was very clean. I don’t know if it was the ventilation or the fact that the hotel is old. All the staff were friendly and the room was comfortable.

Check in was difficult as we arrived early and there is no one there until three to check in. Wasn’t a major issue but as the hotel is a pub first and hotel second was difficult to get new towels and shampoo etc. however was clean room and staff did respond to any issues.

Room was on 4th floor and there was traffic noise, mainly sirens, which was to be expected given city centre location. We had a private bathroom which made it.all the more convenient. Hot water took a long time to come through but this was shown.on signs so you were.aware.on arrival. Would stay again. Less than a block to Wynyard Station.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the bed and cleanliness of the room. The shower took 10mins to warm up. There was signage to flag this which was appreciated. I would stay here again.
