The hotel is in a fantastic location. The tram stop is 50 yards away which takes you to the main shopping areas and to circular quay, which is for the Opera house, Harbour Bridge and ferries. The hotel rooms are clean and serviced daily. The only downside to the hotel is the rooms are on the small side and dated, other than that I would highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel has a good location within easy reach of Central Station which gives you great access to the public transport network. The hotel itself is a little tired, but comfortable and the breakfast is fine. Makes a cost effective base for a visit to the city.

Old but Charming

Kind of a budget hotel with upscale but retro conveniences. For an Asian “Foodie” you can’t having a layover here! Not too far from the airport and plenty of public (an easy to get to) transportation to take you wherever you want
