Great place to stay at an affordable price in the heart of Sydney. Rooms are outdated and the bed was a bit stiff, but honestly couldn’t fault the overall establishment. Had a great charm to it and the food was excellent. Would definitely stay here again!

Bed was comfortable but the decor was old and dated. The ensuite bathroom had been refurbished but there is only a small shelf to place toiletries and no hand towel was provided.

No issues with the property itself. Our room was clean and quiet. Staff at reception, dining and bar area were pleasant. We chose this venue for its proximity to the Capitol Theatre and easy walking access to transport connections at Central. Unfortunately, the location at the Haymarket end of George Street has long been a grungy area of the city with the presence of homeless people on the street and the litter left by passing revellers.

Great location, good value
Much better than I expected and very pleased with the early availability of my room, friendliness of all staff, good breakfast offer in the restaurant and a busy public bar downstairs. Lovely old-world feel in the downstairs lobby area. I chose a small room with no housekeeping, but it was more than comfortable with a spacious bathroom and the ability to replenish items from reception. Two lifts meant a speedy ride (I was on 6th floor) and very quiet (a request). Also had dinner in the restaurant one of the evenings and will consider a return on my next trip to Sydney. Superbly located about a 7-minute walk from Central Station, plus a tram stop across the street.

Bathroom was full of tiny flies, all over the vanity, shower, floor and walls. Bedroom had a couple as well. I ended up getting rid of around 30 of them myself. They have a clear problem with this as I also noticed in the bathrooms of the lobby downstairs. Other than that, bed was clean and comfortable. Aircon worked. It was nothing special but otherwise fine.
