Liked: Cleanliness
This is an excellent location and decent price point. A very cool historic building with a ground floor pub, restaurant son the next two floors and rooms above. Feels a little time travel-y! The pub is a busy spot for lunch and happy hour, there was no noise in the room though. Everything felt clean though basic so as long as you have the right expectations you will love it. And I walked everywhere from this spot and the train station is just across the street. Staff was ok, mostly friendly. For any front desk type stuff use the bar but if it’s before or after hours they have a number. Would stay here again.

Great location. Rooms are functional and clean. Lots of noise from the street and windows noisy... So if you want a quiet night then bring your earplugs!

Location was brilliant. Close to train station so easy to access from airport. Pub it's above was very popular, good food/drink deals. While room was outdated it was clean and all you need for a couple of nights stay. A bit of street noise but manageable. For the price I highly recommend this place.

We were next to the elevator, and the only problem we had with that was it interfered with the tv reception when it was in use. Shower and toilet facilities were clean and the shower was like a waterfall. Would recommend and loved to stay again.

This hotel is located in the center of Sydney downtown. It is very convenient to everywhere, and many tour attractions are in walkable distance. Its price in this CBD area is properly lowest - best value! But the hotel condition is quite old, in addition to sharing-bathrooms - you need to walk through the hall-way to bathroom from your bedroom. Also no "front desk", the AC in our room was not working, I reported to the staff in bar and we did not get the AC fixed until we checked-out 2 days late.
