Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The good - the staff were attentive and friendly. The location is good, easy access to transport. Lots of food and dining options in the immediate vicinity. Now the bad - the breakfast was extremely limited. The shower pressure is poor. Not really good enough for a supposed 4 star hotel. There is only 1 lift and no stairs. You can be waiting ages for the lift and it’s very frustrating. The beds are extremely uncomfortable and the pillows they supply way too big. I wouldn’t stay here again, there are many more 4 star hotels in Sydney offering a lot better.

Good location, but noisy pub until Midnight on Sat

This is a well located hotel and served its purpose. However, it does have a lot of pubs around, which could be noisy, especially on weekends until past midnight. The lobby has a distinct scent of perfume or cleaning agent? that we didn’t quite like.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I've stayed here often. In the middle of the bustling theatre and Chinatown/Thaitown district of Sydney CBD, the location is perfect for those who like nightlife and excellent casual dining. It's a little oasis amongst this busy area, where your room is quiet and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. For those who like privacy, know that no-one can even enter the building, let alone reach your floor, without either having their room key or requesting entry to the building with the intercom. The only thing I don't personally like is that it has one of those TV's that is so smart, it can't receive local free-to-air channels, but 100 other channels, of course. I've stayed here maybe 20 times now. It's my preferred hotel in this area, and may well become yours.
