10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel, booked it without even realising it was where we stayed the last time. The shower-tub was a bit slippery even with their little mat, so I got a huge bruise on my leg, but other than that it was a great stay.
Natalie, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location convenient for all our needs, breakfast was great and the bed was one of the best I’ve ever slept in. Place seems a little worn and was slow for us to check in however this was due to another customer complaining

Great Location .. Value for Money

Large well kept rooms in a great location and for Sydney the price is good. The public areas could do with a update, some of the carpets are badly stained and frayed. Overall a good place to stay especially if you are looking for clean comfortable accomodation that is nothing fancy.
Gregory, 1-night trip
