Traveller reviews

“I love it. The place, staff, and the location”
29 Aug 2025
It is near in the central train station. It’s in the City.

“Great location for a few nights”
06 Aug 2025
Excellent location close to public transport and main points of interest. Friendly staff. Room was clean and as expected, although there was no window to open or see out of (was frosted and I think facing another building wall) which could feel claustrophobic. Bed was comfy enough for a few nights. Common areas always seemed lively, but couldn't hear the noise from upstairs.

“Very good”
21 Jul 2025
Excellent location. Clean, quiet, basic. All we needed for a night in Sydney.

“Superb”
23 Jun 2025
The room was clean with a private bathroom and the location is perfect, within walking distance to everything and right next to Central Station.
