Really close to the train station. However, the communal washroom wasn’t clean. Also, there’s no elevator so you would have to lift your luggage up and down. The area has broken store fronts and just didn’t feel safe in general…

Horse and Jockey was a pleasant surprise. A lovely old building but very well looked after and with friendly and helpful staff. The history of the hotel made it all the more intresting.

The Hotel was fairly nice the renovation was good, the room was small, the lights on the night stands didn't work, there was an ugly stain on the Dooner cover, and there was NO hot water in the morning I ended up with a very cold shower. The staff were very nice and the pub part was very nice.

The property was neat and tidy, parking was a nightmare and the noise from the street kept us awake most of the night. I had no idea it was a shared bathroom until we arrived at the accommodation.

First time i had ever booked a family room had thought a shared bathroom was shared between the family not the whole guests staying at the hotel. The sheets and pillows had hair strands on them meaning they were not clean or cleaned properly. It ruined our night deading sharing a bathroom we gave the keys back to the manager and said were going drive back home we cant stay here. The manager and staff there are very kind, welcoming and understanding people

Beautiful accomodation and super comfy bed. The only thing I can fault is that there isn’t an exhaust fan in the bathroom, so it was hot and damp the whole time.

Hello William,Sorry for the inconvenience with the booking. To explain when you book with Expedia they take the payment from you not the hotel. Expedia should not have been advertising the room available as there were no rooms to offer as we were booked out. They have access to our booking system and they have made the mistake offering the room. As was explained to you when you tried to check in if you contact Expedia they will issue you a refund.

Great place to stay for work related visit to Homebush. Refurbished rooms clean and comfortable, shared bathrooms well appointed. Restaurant serves excellent pub food - several cafes nearby for breakfast and close to railway station. Lovely helpful staff. Only negative was the unkept area surrounding this lovely old building. Will stay again.

On arrival was told the booking made through Lastminute did not come through to the actual hotel. Nonetheless, the staff looked at my email confirmation and allocated us a room. Very small room but also very clean and nicely renovated. Shared bathroom was great, clean and close to the room. There are plenty of shared bathrooms to share. We needed accommodation for one night and this place was a great value for money.

Brand new period style renovation for the upstairs area of a historic location. Top quality finishes to both rooms as well as the wet areas. Walking distance to bus and rail makes it an easy choice when going to a show at Homebush stadium or the city. Look forward to seeing the place again when the downstairs is completed.

Property is in the middle of an upgrade. The accommodation upstairs had all been renovated. Clean and comfortable. The downstairs bar and eating areas are all undergoing major works. Very nice outdoor area for drinks and catching up. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Walking distance to Homebush train station with the local bus stop just outside the door.

クドスバンクアリーナのライブに行くのに近くて便利かと思い予約しましたが、ホームブッシュ駅降りてホテル周辺まで歩くとあまりの寂れっぷりにちょっと不安になりました。しかしながらホテルは快適でスタッフもフレンドリーで楽しく過ごせました。 パブの2階にあるため普通のホテルのチェックインを想像していたらパブに来店して鍵を受け取るのでびっくりしましたが、お腹が空いたらすぐに食事にありつけるので良かったかも。 ホテルは共用のバスルームが女性用/男性用/男女兼用と3つもあるので他の宿泊客とガチ合う事はありませんでした。フリーWi-Fiが部屋だと弱かったので、共用スペースで利用した方がスムーズでした。 アメニティはタオルとボディソープのみでしたので、ボックスティッシュ・シャンプーリンスは近くのスーパーで購入しました。 連泊中のベッドメイキングはなかったのでそういうものなのでしょうか。 ランドリーが洗剤も柔軟剤もあって使い放題だったのはありがたかったです。

Hotel ou Hostel?
Reservei pensando ser um hotel. Chegando descobri que era um hostel. Banheiro fora do quarto, nao tem armario no quarto,cozinha comum. Não tem limpeza. Lixo não foi retirado da cozinha nem dos banheiros nos 4 dias de hospedagem. De positivo o local proximo a estação do metrô e a simpatia e educação das atendentes, em especial a Molly, que na realidade são atendentes do restaurante em baixo do hotel. Não existe recepção para os hospedes. No dia em que cheguei precisei aguardar abrir o restaurante para ser atendido e fazer o check in. Como hostel é bom, mas como hotel não pode nem ser classificado.
