Great spot to crash after a concert, however it is very basic. Definitely a few issues with the room such as the bathroom ventilation, old pipes and lack of power of mini fridge, however for one night it is fine. Probably wouldn’t be great for more than a one night stay.

Disliked: The bathroom was not well ventilated, and they don’t provide a foot mat in the bathroom (so it gets very wet). The mini fridge is also very weak in power.

Liked: The location and price are the best things about this hotel. We did not try the restaurant but had the continental breakfast which was a fine start to the day. Walkable to main tourist spots, central station close by for transport to Bondi and trains outside hotel to tourist spots if you don’t fancy walking.
