Before coming here, I had mixed opinions about the place due to some reviews I had gone through but it was an overall wonderful experience. I was visiting here along with my university delegation of senior management and they all were happy with their experience and quality of hotel.

Average hotel, service is not accommodating

We asked for a better view and got charged $30/night. And yet on the lift, it says ask our friendly staff for a free upgrade. Seems to be double standard.

Cozy stay

Very central, walkable, to everything light rail just down stairs. It is geting old and needs a refurb bad. But a cheap bed for the night its perfect. You wont have a view of Darling Harbour once the new buildings are built unfortunately

Jaded hotel, grumpy staff but in an excellent location. Bathrooms ok but it all looked a bit neglected - the bar terrace area was nice. Shame it hadn’t been refurbished.

Tiny little shoebox of a room, not cheap either. Very noisy, thin walls... someone's phone alarm went off at 6am and was not turned off for 20 minutes, then went off again for another 10 minutes and woke us up. Who does that?? Also very unimpressed with the woman at reception. Went down to purchase a bottle of water from there (there's a sign that says 'purchase at reception'). Tried to send us over to the cafe, rolled her eyes and sighed when pointed the sign out. She was clearly too full of her own self importance to serve us. Location-wise it was quite good but based on the above I don't think we'd waste our money here again.

I believe the breakfast bainmaries were far too cold and need to be considerably hotter. When the food within them (sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs etc.) is placed on cold plates it is eaten barely warm. Must present the food hotter…
