Please replace the bed and mattress

Excellent location. Convenient to Central Station. Good hotel, service and bar/restaurant overall. Clean and reasonable amount of space. Very disappointed with the bed - The mattress was a bouncy innerspring so neither of us had a decent night sleep. Every time one of us moved the other woke up.

Great location close to shops, transport and restaurants. Excellent for anyone cruising to/from Sydney. Tram is at the front and goes directly to Circular Quay. Clean tidy rooms, however there is mould in the shower.

A bargain inner city location.

Excellent location to tram and Central train station. Lots of restaurants around, mainly Asian as this location is close to China Town. A pleasant walk or tram ride to city centre. Dining room and hotel bar on premises. This is a popular hotel for travellers despite the rooms being a little tired. However if sparkles are not what you are after, it’s a great place to stay.

We choose this accommodation because of it's location and reasonable price - especially for Sydney. It is an easy 2 min walk (with suitcases in hand) to Central Railway Station. The staff happily allowed us into our room on arrival before lunch. The bed was very comfortable and clean (crispy sheets). I would recommend a stay here if you did not want all the bells and whistles, but did want value for money and cleanliness. Would stay again.
