The whole experience was fantastic but it all started with the outstanding desk staff that did our check in who happened to be the same person that checked us out. Room was not ready when we first arrived, and the staff were very remorseful but quite informative as to why the room was not They gave us free drink vouchers to help overcome any grief The room and the condition of the hotel was really pleasant and the bed and overall comfort was outstanding. I would recommend this hotel to all of my friends and family

Nice and close to central station, beds confortable, lifts are slow and no clear direction to take stairs as an alternative. Had room refreshed daily but did not replenish some of the towels etc so had to ask from them which took a while to bring up to the room, minor things and woud definately stay again.

It was very close to public transport and shops near by. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It was at times a little noisy on the street, but overall we had a very pleasant stay. I felt the lifts were a bit slow which was the only drawback for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Usually a great central location

Conveniently located hotel. Close to Central and in Surry Hills. Disappointed that I didn’t get the welcome drink for two upon arrival, it was only for one. Even more disappointed at checkout, waited in line for 15mins, had two people who arrived after me served before me. I had a flight to catch so had to leave. Contacted the hotel for my invoice a few days later and they failed to send me the invoice. The service is normally better than this, as I’ve stayed here many times.
