The location is absolutely amazing! The apartment was reasonably clean and the kitchen is decently setup. 5 minutes walk to darling harbor as well as China town. Dining options are almost endless The only cons I have are: The staff are almost non existent The property's entrance is outdated & rundown I would definitely stay there again given the price

This hotel retains security bonds for extensive and unreasonable periods of time and then provides false information when queried. The hotel was dirty and damp and the courtyard contained rubbish and broken cleaning equipment. The TV in the room had no signal and bathroom was leaking. Staff were unhelpful.

The location was very good if you were attending anything at Darling Harbour, also only a short walk to Chinatown, Paddy's market and the city. Lots of Asian restaurants close by. The lobby and room were old and showing signs of age but was comfortable enough. Nice comfortable bed and pillows. Fridge has no shelves on the door so made it difficult to store much cold food in the room ad the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. I paid a good rate for three nights as I chose limited housekeeping, however there was no housekeeping at all. We would sttay again just for the good location.
