The hotel has a great location, comes with free Fanta, and offers a lower price option. The rooms aren't welcoming, and the logistics of room positions are poor. The hallways seem outdated and smelled funky, possibly due to past smoking. A great location is highlighted with easy access to food and amenities.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Sydney city with plenty of activities nearby. However, the room had some issues like a musty smell and noise disturbances. The service was a mixed bag with some staff being friendly while others seemed rude at times.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in had a bad musty smell due to the wet carpet from the AC unit constantly dripping water. The noise from neighboring cabins and heavy roadworks outside made it hard to rest. The bed was uncomfortable, and the lack of soap was unexpected. The room was overpriced for what it offered.

Service

The service at the hotel was a bit inconsistent. While some staff members were very friendly, others came across as rude at times. The housekeeping emptied our room and placed our belongings in a garbage bag, which was not a pleasant experience.

I found the dining options to be limited, with the breakfast ending early on some days. The regional jams available were a nice touch, and the prices were reasonable for what was offered.

The hotel facilities were average. There was a work desk in the room, and the hotel was close to the entertainment center, but nothing stood out as exceptional.

The hotel is situated in a lively area close to town hall station and a variety of restaurants and shops. While the rooms were loud due to their location above a busy bus lane, the service was outstanding and the clientele added to a pleasant atmosphere. The dining options were limited and overpriced, but the location was undeniably convenient for exploring the city nightlife and attractions.

Rooms

My room was above a nightclub and facing an uphill bus lane, contributing to constant noise levels. It was also not very clean.

The hotel's location is fabulously convenient, just a short walk from town hall station, surrounded by various dining and shopping options. However, being on top of a nightclub made it challenging to rest before 3am.

The hotel's location was a mix of good and bad. On the positive side, it was close to everything we wanted to explore and the Darling Harbour Convention Centre, but the noise from a nearby nightclub was a definite downside. The rooms lacked hanging space and hooks, and noise from the club downstairs could be bothersome.

The room was big enough and had an en-suite, which was a bonus. Despite the disturbances caused by noisy neighbors, it was like a budget hotel room but better than anticipated.
