Splendid two-day business stay.
This delightful small boutique hotel was perfect for my two day business trip to Sydney.
The room was simple but very clean and quite practical for my purposes. The staff could not have more helpful.
I was able to get Ubers easily from the location to get around town.
The Broadway shopping centre was just up the road and I was able to see a film in the few recreational hours I had at the very comfortable Hoyts cinema.

Great boutique accommodation
We stayed two different rooms They are very clean and unique. If you require making up room don’t forget to use door hanger marker. Breakfast was mini open buffet but essential foods are over there except eggs!
WiFi air conditioner works good

Lovely Boutique Hotel. Walking distance to the Light Rail. Located on the edge of Chinatown.
Continental breakfast more than sufficient though only specialty coffees (for a price) and instant coffee availabe.

It’s not a Hilton, and you get what you pay for, which isn’t bad in this case. My only complaint is that they don’t clean the rooms by default, you have to ask for it

Beautiful accomodation to stay at in Sydney, a friend and I flew in for a training course for the weekend and were welcomed with a huge smile from Lupita at reception. The lovely atmosphere of the hotel, where the staff were very accommodating and full of local information, nothing was a bother to them. Thanks so much, we enjoyed our stay. A big shout out to Lupita your smile each day, made our day. Thanks so much! See you next time.

Great place with very friendly and helpful staff and owners. Had everything that was needed, was very comfortable, breakfast was good, location is great with short walk to to China Town, Paddy's Market, tram, buses or Darling Harbor and Fish Market.
