Budget hotel for the discerning traveller
This hotel is ideally situated for my occasional visits to Sydney. It is a true budget hotel, pretty basic and shared bathrooms, toilets etc. I only need a bed for the night and a base camp for my luggage on my visits to Sydney and the price is right for my needs.
One of the last true bargain hotel deals left in Sydney.
Ideal for the older travellers who are not keen on backpacker lodgings.
It's nice to have a fully functional old style Sydney pub downstairs as well.

The staff were very friendly, and the rooms were always clean. The property is older though it's kept up nicely. Hot water was in consistent, and the room heater didn't always work.

Good short stay
Old but modernised hotel in very convenient location. Long time for hot water to arrive and lot of traffic noise but otherwise a good stay.
