Not accessible for people with mobility limitations with only stairs to access the rooms, needs maintenance and repairs to light fittings and cupboards and there was a cockroach in the room. Very noisy and no close parking.
What a great place to stay in Sydney. Rooms are clean, staff were so lovely, nothing was a bother. I loved the area I thought it was perfect. Will defffintly stay again. Thank you to all the staff exceptional customer service!!! ( don’t see that often these day!) thanks 10/10
Liked:
- staff are very good
,- beddings are neat & the linens
- enjoyed going up to the second floor & down the stairs which helped exercise our knees as no lift provided
- walking distance to the Darling harbour & fish market
Didn’t like:
- didn’t get a decent sleep due to the noise of the passing vehicles on a Saturday night & can hear people shouting & talking until 2am
- We have to unplug the TV to plug the water jug
- the room is old. has only fan - no aircon,
- the room door is stiff & has to be pushed & pull with strength
- unable to use the little round table inside the room because it’s wobbly. Please check for safety purposes
- toilet & shower are communal & shared with others who’s staying from the same floor- no shower & toilet inside the room
- the small stainless bin in the toilet/shower is rusty & should be thrown away
- no handwashing liquid provided in the handwashing container

clean property, handy location, kind staff. Major problem with the traffic noise, really need double glaze windows as all rooms street side of a major traffic flow most hours of day & night - suitable for a short stay only I'd suggest.
Closeness to attractions very good.Just a bit more attention to cleanliness....showers in particular need a good scrub Beds very comfortable ....but very noisy.

Not ideal. Very noisy no insulation. TV could not hold a station. Shower items left by previous guests not removed(used soap etc) no staff outside pub hours, so limited help. I guess the earplugs I found in the kitchenette should have been the warning sign.
There is no telephone if you need something, or if theres any problem in the room.
The water is not getting wsrm enough to take a showerit was really cold ;(

The staff were wonderful. The transport acces was fantastic with multiple bus stops in the area, the area was very noisy but ear plugs were provided
Windows are paper thin and extremely noisy intersection outside. Double glazed windows would eliminate a lot of road noise. Other than that the stay was fine and a good location for pubs and access to casino.
