We stayed at this hotel second time and everything was excellent. Easy access by ferry, train and bus. Very close to most attractions. In hotels we could use a sandwich maker and washing machine. That was a bonus. Definitely will stay again.

Felt like I was in a forgotten room. It was one of the cheaper rooms with a "view of the atrium". I kept the window shut as I looked out on to cleaning supplies. Walked down a narrow path outside to get to my room. If elderly/ unstable on your feet or use a walker it would not have been safe. I thought I was going the wrong way. Was not made aware of a nice communal area, found it upon checkout. I would have used it for reading. It served its purpose for 2 nights. Would not go there if it was a holiday. They took my licence and credit card but I have no assurance that they deleted the information when I left as I asked them to. "Cold breakfast" available. No details as to what it could be. Did not check it out. Good for a cheap quick stopover night

Parking arrangements were a little difficult as dependent on street parking, and the atrium room was small, but adequate

I found this Hotel quite a rabbits warren and noisy from other rooms. The carpet was dirty, large mark, with crumbs on it, as well when i arrived, A stain on the doona like urine? Pillows were shocking so lucky i took my own. I thought the parking was quite expensive where i went Wilsons, for two nights--$55 a day! quite a long way from Hotel. I doubt if i will be back.

I loved the convenience, it is an older hotel, have stayed there many times over the years. The rooms have been greatly improved, plenty of storage and staff always helpful and friendly. You get what you pay for, great price, very clean room and comfy bed. That's all I need.

While the room was clean, it was dated with stains on the walls and carpets. Shower screen had gaffa tape around it. View from room 215 was terrible, overlooking a building site with scaffolding and cranes. There was also a clothes dryer in the public area that was still going at 10:30pm.

My only complaint about the property was the mattress in our room that was too soft and I felt that I was having a sinking feeling. I was not able to advise the staff as he was on the phone when we checked out. Otherwise happy with everything else

A perfect place for a brief stop over in Sydney. Location is great with a 5 min walk to the Double Bay ferry terminal and a 15 minute walk to Edgecliffe Station if you don't want to pay Sydney's exorbitant taxi fares from the airport. Clean, welcoming, functional. One more pillow each would have got you 5 stars. No natural daylight in the room so wouldn't have wanted to be there for more than a night but that's personal preference. A great stay.

I liked that it had a window you could open. Very basic room but OK, bed a bit soft. the Room was serviced daily, but coffee cups were never washed, milk and toilet paper were not replaced. The room manual is very out of date, saying breakfast was available down stairs, but apparently has not been available since Covid. I would stay again because of locality to where I need to be
