Ótima localização e excelente custo-benefício, com uma experiência geral muito positiva, apesar de alguns pontos de melh

Pros: Excelente custo-benefício, localização muito boa e uma experiência geral bastante positiva. Ideal para quem passa o dia explorando Sydney e volta para descansar com conforto. Cons: O cheiro forte e desagradável vindo da cozinha, especialmente na área da recepção. No quarto 301, havia também um ruído durante a madrugada, aparentemente causado por uma porta externa batendo com o vento. Além disso, encontramos algumas vezes a porta de saída dos fundos aberta quando a recepção estava fechada, o que merece atenção por uma questão de segurança.

Pros: Liked the location Cons: Shower leaked everywhere. Didn't feel secure in that the side door was often left open by people going out for a smoke

Pros: Liked the location Cons: Shower leaked everywhere. Didn't feel secure in that the side door was often left open by people going out for a smoke. Also didn't really like the code being the only security for the room.
