I've stayed in hundreds of properties and rated this one the worst. Never will I stay there again and if anyone is hoping to use the hotel parking, I strongly suggest you seek other options.

For Sydney quite good value and location. Near Central Station and light rail. Staff were helpful. We expected a double bed but had 2 singles. Not really a problem but the castors made the bed move making it difficult to sit up in bed.

I first stayed at the SCH in 1961 it had old world charm and still does But needs to be updated in basic amenities. I appreciate that the room rate is comparatively low, but with a little attention to the room amenities the rate could be justifiably raised and the comfort / feel good of the room would add to a more positive feeling.

Horrible experience

The stay was ok, but we had a bad experience that we asked hotel to book taxi for 12 persons, hotel only booked taxi for 10 persons in the early morning, and needed to call one additional taxi and the cost was from AU$150.- up to AU$240.-, the problem was not the money but we might miss our flight. It's very bad.

Great older quaint hotel in a great location. It has been updated so I found it comfy. The staff are friendly & helpful. The hotel bar & restaurant are great. The hot water flow is a little inconsistant but very manageable. There is lot of shopping, dining options & attractions within walking distance. Central Train Station & Haymarket metro are real close by. I enjoyed my stay.
