Great spot
Pros: Close to where we needed to be Cons: Curtains could be heavier because the room is very light at night.

Bella sorpresa a Sydney central
Pros: Entrando nel pub non avrei mai immaginato che ai piani superiori ci fosse un hotel. E per giunta così bello ed accogliente. Avevamo una camera familiare spaziosa angolare tutta finestrata da cui si vedeva lo skyline del centro. Letti enormi e comodi, bagno nuovo e doccia super calda. Wifi funzionante, ascensore pure. Cons: Prolungherei il check out alle 11, la moquette ovunque non è di mio gusto, ma sappiamo che qui funziona così.

Great accomodation.. great food..great staff!
Pros: Very clean Great staff-helpful & friendly Welcoming atmosphere Cons: Could do with level 2 room 205 to have curtains have a blockout rubber fabric attached to current quality curtains to combat the flashing fluorescent lights that go all night from the sports bar across the road..even when curtains totally shut over it’s disturbing for sleep..our only issue with our stay..otherwise 10 out of 10!
