Splendid two-day business stay.
This delightful small boutique hotel was perfect for my two day business trip to Sydney.
The room was simple but very clean and quite practical for my purposes. The staff could not have more helpful.
I was able to get Ubers easily from the location to get around town.
The Broadway shopping centre was just up the road and I was able to see a film in the few recreational hours I had at the very comfortable Hoyts cinema.

Lovely Boutique Hotel. Walking distance to the Light Rail. Located on the edge of Chinatown.
Continental breakfast more than sufficient though only specialty coffees (for a price) and instant coffee availabe.

Not much for the price. It was a room that had the stench of a bad renovation. Very minimal room.

Beautiful accomodation to stay at in Sydney, a friend and I flew in for a training course for the weekend and were welcomed with a huge smile from Lupita at reception. The lovely atmosphere of the hotel, where the staff were very accommodating and full of local information, nothing was a bother to them. Thanks so much, we enjoyed our stay. A big shout out to Lupita your smile each day, made our day. Thanks so much! See you next time.

It’s not a Hilton, and you get what you pay for, which isn’t bad in this case. My only complaint is that they don’t clean the rooms by default, you have to ask for it

A cosy boutique hotel in an excellent, quiet neighborhood within walking distance to Darling Harbour. The counter staff was helpful and friendly, and the inclusion of a daily Continental breakfast is a bonus. And check out the unassuming chinese restaurant next door. The food is excellent!

Not quite a 4 star
The staff "forgot" to make up my room one day. The elevator was not working 2 days. the WiFi was not working one day. The breakfast was frugal - no eggs, the coffe was instant (good coffee costs extra)

This boutique hotel was an absolute pleasure to stay in. I was only there for the one night but the amenities were great, breakfast inclusion was also great as was the location. However the key standout has to be the staff! Cheska and her young male colleague were brilliant at ensuring the stay met my expectations and they sure did, even exceeded them!
Thank you for being caring humans and treating all your guests as the individuals they are. Thanks again!

Enjoyed our stay. It felt safe and secure for me and my teenage daughter. Walking distance to light rail and we enjoyed the area. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Would stay there again :)
