Excellent and comfortable stay whilst visiting family in Marrickville. Super convenient next to the station, and so pleasantly surprised at how quiet the rooms were. We ate downstairs in teh bistro also, which has delicious food. Would definitely stay again.

Be great if there was a shelf in the shower- nowhere to put shampoos etc. wifi barely worked. And if there were light switches for the bed lamps, I certainly couldn’t find them

A good vibe to the hotel, great service and the dining in options are great! Bedrooms nice and clean, comfortable to stay in. Walking distance to local coffee shops and convenient stores.

Julie

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was not the layout of what I had booked. Felt like a run of house small economy room rather than a deluxe queen, noting the bathroom was tiny obscure shaped wedged into the corner, and no shower door meant water was sprayed onto the toilet. Really disappointed noting there are no pictures of this room configuration, so it was not expected. The other reviews were deceiving, I won't stay here again.
