Nice little hotel near the Powerhouse Museum and a short walk to Darling Harbour. Our room was spacious and I appreciated all the surface space to store our luggage and belongings. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good. The employees were very helpful with calling taxis and sorting out any issues. I would stay here again. The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of dining options around the hotel.

“king bed” was two single beds pushed together. Property does not look like the pictures at all… i would google first. We requested a double room and were given a sofa bed and the two single beds pushed together. Not impressed.

Unfortunately the dining room and bar were closed during my stay, which I wasn't aware of when I booked the room. Additionally there was quite an intense smell of damp around the entire hotel. In my room there was a large damp patch of carpet by the bed that didn't go away during my stay. To the credit of the staff, they supplied an industrial fan to help dry it. Unfortunately this didn't work very well, and the floor remained quite wet. The room smelled of damp the same way the common areas of the hotel did. Also there is no warm lighting in the rooms

During my stay at the hotel, I had a few unpleasant experiences: • There was a bad smell in the hallways, similar to that of a restroom, which was very disturbing. We reported this issue to the reception twice, but no action was taken. • There were no slippers provided. • The mattress was uncomfortable as it was made of two separate pieces. • The pillows were extremely thin, uncomfortable, and practically unusable.
