Traveller reviews
Anna “Comfortable but needs more showers”
25 Mar 2025
Comfortable beds and good location. Very close to Sydney central station. Kitchen was pretty clean and had decent facilities
Alan “Excellent location in the heart of Sydney CBD with great access to cafes and restaurants”
19 Mar 2025
Excellent location within easy walking distance of the central station (train) with a huge amount of cafes, bars and restaurants nearby and only about 15 minutes away from the harbour (public transport; 35 minutes walk) Comfortable room and bed with a good bathroom and shower. Elevator access to all floors. Rooftop bar (during reception hours) Good laundry facilities and a large shared kitchen. Lots of daily activities (walking tours, pub crawls and other social activities) for those who want to participate and make friends. We extended our stay due to our travel plans changing because of the weather. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again if I’m ever back in Sydney.

Serena “Place to stay!”
17 Jan 2025
I had a nice time here. Receptionists always kind and helpful. They even organised a dinner buffet for Christmas. I had a double room with bathroom and it was perfect for my needs. No cockroaches. Window can be opened (but not view because of a wall but personally it didn’t annoyed me since there’re other buildings very close and I wanted to have some privacy)
