Hotel is very accessible to Kings Cross station just 3mins walk. The room I got is good and clean especially the bed. I had a good sleep. There’s cafes and bars outside which is good. The only thing if you have a huge luggage is that it does not have lift so please prepare your muscles. :D Good thing I saw a review about that and I was kinda prepared. Overall experience was good.

I'd give it 5 stars except for the thin walls and no staff on duty to enforce a quiet time after midnite. Manager went above and beyond to give us a choice of rooms, and to provide an adapter for our American electronics. It would have been helpful to let us know if we could have a room with no one next door.

Upon check in the lady never smiled once, just asked us our name, gave us a form to complete & asked for I/D. Gave us room key, that was it. Didn't realise we had to hike our heavy bags up 2 floors on our own. Room was unbelievably tiny for the $$$ room rate for one night. At least it was clean & bed was comfortable. Lots of noise from other rooms & the alley below, despite keeping window closed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Property was very basic, the shared toilets were horrible. Tiny little cubical I’m sure not to Australian standards. I was on the 3rd floor and with no lift access I asked the staff to assist me with my bag as I have a back injury and was advised ‘that’s not a service we offer’. Absolutely NOT worth the money I paid. Bed and pillow were horribly uncomfortable. No air condition and the room was like a hit box
