Positive Reviews
positive:
Very convenient location in central Sydney.
Staying here puts you within easy distance of many of Sydney's major attractions. Being in the heart of Newtown means there are plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby, along with the Newtown train station which gives you easy access to the rest of the city.
positive:
Free coffee, pastries, and wine in the foyer!
A lovely added touch you'll be able to enjoy while staying here is the complimentary treats in the foyer. Munch on a fresh pastry, indulge in a glass of wine, or just start your day with a premium brewed coffee.
positive:
Great service from all of the staff working here.
You can expect to be well looked after at this hotel, the people who work here really know how to provide excellent customer service. Any requests you have, no matter how big or small, will be dealt with professionally.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Cleanliness is not quite up to scratch.
This hotel could be kept cleaner, with hairs in the bathrooms an all too common sight. Housekeeping seems to be shirking their duties, with rooms not being made up until late in the afternoon.
negative:
The rooms here can feel rather cramped.
Some of the rooms here are tiny, with little room left for you to store your luggage and get comfortable. It's best to check your room first and if it's too small for you then request a larger one.
negative:
Not exactly the best value of money in Sydney.
The room rates here are far from cheap and really you're just paying for the location. If you want more comfortable accommodation and better facilities then shop around to see if you can find an alternative.
