I like the aesthetics of the place. It’s not often you get to stay above a bar. The washrooms and showers are shared. There’s no temperature control. You have to call ahead if you want to check in after 9pm. And the doors don’t close properly by themselves. Overall it’s a nice place if you go in with the right mindset, the area is beautiful, but it lacks the common niceties of a hotel.

It was not clearly stated in the description that bathroom and shower facilities are shared - one at each level. I was surprised when I checked in. Despite stating that there was laundry facilities, this was also not true. I had just come from a multi-day hike and was looking forward to fresh laundry, but I was disappointed by this. Otherwise, the shared facilities were clean and room was nice and clean.

Omg ! No freaking air conditioning ! No bathroom in the room ! ( down the hall ). No staff on site other than bar staff. Horribly hot on top floor. No coffee maker. Basically a flop house. You’ll have to read every review to piece this together. We were miserable. Hot Australian summer and no fkg air.

Lovely location but more hostel level
Lovely area and welcoming staff at the bar downstairs. Evenngot one free drink. The room upstairs is old matching the hotel. Not quite as nice as the pics suggest. I struggled with the convex bed. Stressful was the warning not to shower with the door open as the fire alarm would go off. Broken hand basin and no drinking glasses.

This property has such a story to tell. It has charm and the decor suits the hotel. Showers are spotless and hot water is great with the water pressure a plus. Have staed here before and have booked again for a night stay in April.

The room was spotless and well-ventilated, and the bed was super-comfy! There was a little kitchenette on my floor - and there were two kinds of tea and fresh milk in the fridge for guests to use. I have stayed in posh hotels that didn't offer either! If you like having a bathroom in your room, this is not for you, and if you aren't keen on stairs, there's no lift. But if you're looking for somewhere convenient to the city, which is inexpensive and comfortable, and feels like staying at someone's home, this is perfect.

Such a perfect location to be in the heart of Sydney CBD. They even decorated the bed with rose petals and a complimentary bottle of wine for our honeymoon when they didn’t have to. Lovely place and extremely friendly people. Highly recommend, thank you again 😊

I loved the position of this accommodation - such a lovely neighbourhood and so easy to get into the CBD. I would say this "Hotel" is much more like a hostel with shared bathrooms, no consumables like body soap or tissues and while things were clean, rooms were still quite dusty and bathrooms could do with an update. Overall was fine just not what I would want or expect from a hotel.

Staff here is great. And there are pub, kitchen and dining room at the ground floor which are good to enjoy. But it’s a bit noisy when other guests open and close door which means the doors are not that soundproof. The overall is good.

ホテルとなっていますがホテルではありません。　Hostelです。　メインはバーです。　 受付もありません。　バーで鍵もらって隣の建物のドアを開けて入ります。 トイレもシャワーも共有で部屋は掃除もしてもらえませんし、タオルの交換もありません。 部屋は禁煙ですが、バーと繋がっている為したから煙が上に立ち込め廊下タバコの臭いが充満していました。

God beliggenhet.
Av beskrivelsen på hotellet hadde jeg ikke fått med meg at det var delt bad på dette hotellet. Det fungerte greit, men var ikke det jeg hadde forventet. Jeg bodde der i syv dager og det var ikke vask av rommet underveis. Mulig man kan bestille dette ekstra. Beliggenheten var helt super og man kan gå til det meste.

위치는좋아요 그러나 가족여행으로는 적합하지않아요 펍이 아랫층에있어 시끄럽고 우리가갔은때 체크인도 오래걸렸고(식당에어 체크인하는데익당에손님이많아서 ) 방에갔을때는 청소중이어서 또다시기다렸어요~욕실도 공동욕실이고샤워장도 공동샤워장이었어요^혼자하는여행이면 모를까 추천하고싶지않아요
