Stayed here for 3 nights. Reception staff were friendly. Room was tired and lacklustre. Even had wallpaper on the ceiling!!

I'd stay here again, but I would request a room that overlooks the city rather than Kings Cross - which is a real grotty part of Sydney. If your room overlooks Kings Cross, then you will find it very noisy at night! I found it very hard to sleep.

Staff were helpful with storing my suitcase and arranging transport to the airport, etc.

Ww stayed here for a week and loved it! The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a spacious room with 1 double and 1 single bed for the two of us with a great view of the tower.

The hotel was a bit tatty, especially the bathroom where we had a permanent drip, and there was a strange smell in the corridor outside our room, but, apart from those minor details, we were really comfortable and relaxed. We were also glad to make use of the underground parking. The hotel offered a special offer for two people having breakfast which was very good value, but with so many alternatives we only had breakfast once at the hotel.

There was a great little pavement cafe next door to a bakery more or less opposite the main doors which served very reasonably priced but delicious food (also a very acceptable claret) where we ate cheaply and often.

The main beauty of this hotel is that everything you need is right there. Station, bus stops, supermarket, bars, cafes, restaurants, chemists, massages and most went on until very late so no worries about buying the bits and pieces that got overlooked during all that sightseeing.

Kings Cross is the red light district, and there were a number of adult entertainment venues, but the street was well lit and crowded, and as two females of a certain age we can say we felt perfectly safe and unmolested at any time of night.

If you are looking for those little extra touches of luxury, I guess you'll be disappointed, but if you're looking for a reasonably priced. lively location with good transport links this could be the hotel for you.

I hope to make a return visit before long, and although possibly due for a refurbishment, I really hope it doesn't change too soon.

Arrived at hotel and taken to room that had a good view of the city on floor 6. Upon further inspection found dried blood (quite a bit actually) on duvet, rang roomservice to advise and made to feel like i was a nuisance. Walking into bathroom looked at the carpet to find someone elses disgusting toenail clippings, obviously not a great cleaner.
2nd night the power in room blew at 9.30pm, rang reception, (ours was the only room this had happened too, so it wasnt as though they were trying to help alot of others) half an hour later someone came to look - we are sitting in dark room waiting- he says he will be back shortly, rings and says power not able to be fixed that night pack up (in the dark) and they would move us to another room. Not impressed did as he said and waited another half hour until he finally came up with another key. We had been in a non smoking room, this time they moved us to floor 12 and overlooking the cross, noisy as hell especially coming from a room that was quite, also this was a smoking room.. No sorry kiss my ---- or anything from reception.
All the carpets are stained and the wallpaper is ripped. Everything is old and needs a lot of work to bring it up to a reasonable standard. Around bath is disgusting all needs to be re sealed. Dont look too closely you might not like what you see.
At $104 nz per night per person this place is far too expensive and would never stay again, would also advise others not to stay here.

Stayed for 3 nights during a trip from Africa to New Zealand. The hotel is old but cheap & comfortable. Staff were not you typical hotel staff but that made the stay better! The room maid kept everything very clean, the breakfast girls were always smiling and friendly and the front desk clerks couldn't do enough to help. Will stay there everytime I'm in Sydney!
