Great location right in the centre of the city walking distance to all the sites including, Sydney harbour Bridge, opera house and Darling Harbour. Just remember this is an old budget hotel so don’t expect modern facilities.

An old building that needs updating, room was a good size but again needs updating, there was hot water but it takes at least 10 mins to come through this was explained to us as low water pressure, an inconvenience but not a problem, the bar was its saving grace, very good beers and food

Great value in a perfect location for a walkable Sydney. Stayed with family of 4, 2 teen boys. Very clean. Staff were very polite but only present and available at limited times. Only real complaint was the window did not block noise from the street at all and the boys had trouble sleeping.
