"Clean room, great breakfast and kind staff"

"Not bad but it didn’t match our expectations for a 4-star hotel. Pros: Friendly staff. Lovely kids area with parlor games. Very central location with lots of affordable food nearby. Good for transit stays or solo travelers who like a busy area. We enjoyed the free drinks at Sydney Brewery & Cidery. The free buffet breakfast was good but a mix-up about it caused us a lot of stress. Room was clean and the bed was comfy enough. Cons: The hotel feels dated despite looking nice in photos. Our room had a musty smell, low ceiling, and older finishes (bathroom grout already brown). Noise was a big issue — we could hear neighbors, squeaky pipes, and a rattling fridge all night. Windows were scratched and hard to use, and the view wasn’t great. The area is quite rowdy, with people shouting and loitering outside, which didn’t feel ideal for our family. Also, no free slippers (they cost 4 AUD). Breakfast issue: Upon check-in, we were told breakfast was included. But the next morning at breakfast, we were told we had to pay. We went back upstairs to pack and leave. I brought it up during check out and they honored it — which honestly saved the day because we were all hungry and cranky. Overall: Not terrible, but not a 4-star experience for us. Staff were helpful and allowed early check-out with refund, which we appreciated. Probably better for transit travelers than families."

"Great continental breakfast. Had to pay extra for Wifi and to get the room cleaned, so we didn't bother. These services are usually included with the booking. A bit disappointing."

"We had a lovely stay. The location is fabulous, staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive. The view from our room was just like in the photos online. The bed was so comfortable, not too hard, not too soft. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. "

"Paid extra for room up grade. We want view of opera house. But unfortunately the windows were too dirty to take a photo! In room coffee machine didn't work. Plus no coffee cups. Lobby cafe was great."

"Lovely property stayed on the heritage side which is nice but noticed the light switches are falling off the walls and probabaly the worst shower I’ve ever had in a motel.. every 10 seconds goes from scalding to freezing cold no matter what you do"

"Clean room, helpful staff, good location!"

"Have stayed a few times here over recent years. Nice hotel in general. Restaurants are good, somewhat pricey compared to surrounding restaurants but consistent. Rooms do need a refresh, particularly bathrooms. Markings/grime on tiles in showers. Low water pressure in shower. Toilets flushing and running water from cistern needing to press a number of times to stop. Just feels a bit dated for the price paid. A good hotel but used to be great. Noise from hotel and street on city side of hotel seemed extra loud. Even from top floor. Double glazing or other insulation would be good. "

"Try vacuuming under the bed.Lots of dust."
