Spent 5 nights. Roof top bar and downstairs bar were closed for private parties on more nights than they were open to hotel guests. I enjoyed the variety of restaurants down a mostly pedestrian path adjacent to the hotel. Central Station is only 5 blocks away.

Awesome stay in Sydney

This hotel is centrally located with walking distance to everything. Still has the feel of a small hotel while being in the middle of the action, across the street from spice alley where you can always find a bite to eat. Yesterday went to a rugby match and walked all the way back to the hotel.

Great unique boutique hotel, loved the comfy plush bed! Loved the room layout! Loved everything - location was aces- only problem I saw was when I dropped something and had to look under the bed- it was caked in dust! If you guys clean under your beds you’d be epic - I’d have given five stars for cleanliness then!

One of the main reasons we booked this property was the pool. We wanted a holiday where we could use the pool in a morning to relax or in an afternoon to cool off. Sadly we where not informed that the pool was closed 1 afternoon for a private pool party, and closed 1 morning while an interview was being filmed there. No staff informed us of this when checking into the property, or when booking. The hotel itself is lovely, great rooms and a fantastic location. However, if you are paying a little bit extra for a place with a pool, its really better to look elsewhere.
