The street was closed off because a crane was there. The staff did not contact me to advise of this issue and how to get into their car park. They didn’t answer the phone when we rang and we spent 40 mins driving around in peak hour traffic trying to figure out where to park. Once we arrived all we got was a so sorry and that the staff had only found out the night before. I feel knowing the night before, they could have called or texted to advise the changed traffic situation. Extremely disappointed.

Lovely historic heritage building. Friendly, efficient and helpful staff (including front desk and housekeeping). Short walking distance to Town Hall and St James train stations, light rail stops, buses, QVB, main shopping precinct, including Myer and David Jones, and Woolworths supermarket. Many food places, restaurants, cafes, and fast food to choose from.

Surprise package, we enjoyed the hotels location, comfortable beds. The parking was a bit tricky to find, if you are driving make sure you call the hotel first and get the address for parking. After that leave the car parked and easy to get to the light rail and/or train and explore Sydney.

Property was central and well positioned, walking distance from the heart of Sydney. It was in a pretty rough shape though and the room smelled of mildew, lifts were slow and clunky.

Old world charm

The hotel had an old world charm and was comfortably appointed. Unfortunately we waited at reception for 10 mins whilst lone receptionist dealt with incoming phone calls. The room was worn but pleasant. The air conditioning was somewhat inconsistent and we found the bed a bit too soft.
