Older pub with hotel on top. Lots of character. Good location. The room was clean. It was noisy, as you can hear everything in the hall and adjoining rooms. The bathroom down the hall, including showers, needed some love and attention. Overall fine for the price paid.

This is my go to hotel when I am on a short stay in Sydney. It is cheap, has no pretentions and is on the direct train line to the airport. Sure the facilities are shared but no big deal for me . They are spotless and shampoo, body wash and conditioner are supplied. If food is required the bar has a kitchen and there are convenience stores just around the corner. I will be back in October and have already booked

This is in a good location in Sydney and a very cheap price, note the bathrooms are shared which was ok for me. Good for those who want a roof over their heads and nothing more. I would stay here again, the pub downstairs has a good happy hour and dinner specials every night

Excellent location. Check-in easy. Room very basic but tea/coffee, fridge and microwave good inclusions. Share bathroom was a nice surprise: modern and completely private room. Noise from Level 2 function centre a problem for guests on Level 3. Hot water in rooms and showers took forever to reach the taps. A basic budget older style hotel room that has had a makeover. Good for singles. Suggest couples would be best in a room next level up from double. Some rooms were larger with double and one single bed - worth the extra dollars for more space.

Great location and a very charming building and pub. Staff were friendly and professional, also we were able to store our bags after check out so we could get out & about before heading to the airport. Good value for money. If I stay again I would just bring some ear plugs as the street can be quite noisy throughout the night (not from patrons but vehicles etc).
