Warning. Not a 4 star hotel. Best described as a high class hostel. Plexiglass reception. Random man sleeping in a chair 24 hours. Dirty bar. Sparse room but had some nice updates. Best quality was clean bathroom. A 2 star hotel is a generous rating.

I enjoyed all of my 4 nights except one thing. The hotel wifi was out for 19 hours on Sunday. One staffer told me they "don't have a IT person on Sundays." Very bad for someone relying on wifi for all my communications. In my opinion, unforgivable for a good hotel. In the afternoon i discovered the hotel bar did have it's own free wifi, so the hotel's ISP didn't have an outage.

This Hotel is very conveniently located near to the City, transport and Darling Harbour. Room was as expected at the price point. I’ve stayed here before so knew what to expect. Dining options in the hotel were not used on this visit however there are many Asian restaurants nearby. Worth considering if you like convenience over time spent in the hotel environment.
