I had a great view of Sydney Harbour Bridge. The rooms may not be soundproofed, so you might hear noisy neighbors all night. Cleaning was not up to standard as essential areas like sink, toilet, and door handles were missed, though beds were made, and toiletries were refilled. The rooms are small, and there's no complimentary breakfast compared to the same hotel in Melbourne and Brisbane at the same price.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was quite small for a double occupancy, but it was quiet as I stayed on the opposite side of the street. The shower arrangement was a bit restrictive, but overall it was decent. The service was friendly and helpful when needed, but I felt it could have been more welcoming. The location was ideal, with easy access to public transport and restaurants, although there wasn't much friendly interaction in the surrounding area. The dining options were simple, but I enjoyed the variety of coffee and breakfast items.

The hotel's location was ideal, within walking distance to the Opera House and near various restaurants. The rooms, while a bit dark due to surrounding trees, were clean with a poor layout and showed more wear and tear compared to others. The staff, though not very friendly, were very helpful and understanding, especially with services near Kings Cross station. The dining experience was a pleasant surprise with an extensive menu. The facilities were satisfactory, offering everything required for a comfortable stay.

The hotel offers great value for money and is a good choice for budget travelers. The rooms are decent, but could use some improvement, especially in terms of size and shower arrangements.

The hotel's room was small but comfortable and quiet due to my stay across the street from the hospital. The service was exceptionally helpful, especially when they assisted in retrieving a lost earring. The location was convenient, being central next to a train station with various food options nearby. The dining experience was a pleasant surprise with a more extensive menu than expected, including made-to-order coffees. However, the dining value was not worth the price. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service and convenient location.
