The room was fairly small and cramped, clean and in a great location. No exhaust fan in the bathroom meaning you must keep the door shut or risk setting off the smoke alarm and incurring a possible fine, worst thing was the cleaning staff who knock and walk straight in before a reply, catching me out in the full monty, Not impressed.

Conveniently located in Central Sydney CBD, easy walking distance to the areas of interest (Circular Quay, The Rocks, Darling Harbour, etc). Friendly staff & easy check in/check out. Only facility that would be nice if included is a pool, especially if staying in summer. No big deal, as we were there in winter. Wouldn’t be a deal breaker for us though, would definitely stay there again & happy to recommend.

It was ok. The walls are paper thin, so you can hear the next room. Tiny bathroom, poorly designed shower, water leaked onto floor from a bad design of bathroom. Unfortunately these aren’t quick and cheap fixes. So I guess they are stuck with that. Front of house/reception staff extremely nice and friendly. House keeping staff left the dirty linen and rubbish on the floor in hallways after they had finished the floor. That’s a fire and health and safety hazard. Would I stay here again… probabaly not. Also the pillows were so uncomfortable.

Water leakage and quite bad soundproof
The hotel is nicely located, less than a minute's walk from the train station. The room is quite new. However, the shower and toilet are terrible. The water pressure in the shower is very weak so the shower wasn't comfy. Besides, the shower is only half covered by a glass wall, so the leakage is horrible. The bathroom is basically soaked wet every time after showers, which was unpleasant and inconvenient. Besides, there's a reflux problem in the toilet bowl, there were times we saw 'things' refluxed after flushing the toilet. We had to make sure we flushed twice at least and waited (but sometimes will still saw reflux the next morning, though) The soundproofing of the rooms was quite bad, too. You could hear people hanging their showerheads or the sound from the TV from next week.
