We chose this place to stay as we were going to the Football at the SCG and it mentioned that the buses for the SCG stopped opposite. Actually they didn't and it appears that the bus stops had moved to Eddy Ave. A bit confusing for us but it was just a few minutes walk away. It was still a... More

We stayed at this hotel for a night on our last day in Sydney as we wanted the convenience of the Central Station which is bang opposite the hotel . We just picked the hotel off the internet and were not expecting much. However we were pleasantly surprised. The rooms ( we had two rooms!) were large, well lit and... More

We stayed here at the beginning and end of our trip to Australia. I chose it because it is right across the street from the Central Railway station which made it very convenient to and from the airports, the tour bus, train to the Blue Mountains, and train between Sydney and Melbourne. We stayed in two different rooms, both of... More

Stayed here to catch the airport train for a morning flight and the location was excellent literally right across the road from the station. Room was large with a type of sitting room and was much more than we expected for $119 booked right at the last minute. Didn't experience any issues with noise but we stayed on a Thursday... More

Thanks to Troy and his staff. From the time that we made the reservation to the time that we were greeted, the service was excellent. We were advised when the booking was made that we would have a larger room, as we flew from Canada direct to Sydney. The charm of this hotel is wonderful and so close to central... More

We stayed at the Royal Exhibition three nights, including New Years Eve 2011. We arrived early and the staff allowed us to stow our luggage while we toured the city. The location is great-walking distance to Central train station, which makes getting around a breeze. Distance to airport about 10 minutes and distance to all the attractions about 10 minutes....

The location of the hotel is fairly good - easy walking distance to many attractions. Also, the room is of good size. But when it comes to sleeping, this was probably the worst place I've ever stayed at. Our room had windows to the street. As there are some 24h pubs located down the street, there was constant noise on... More

A combination of bistro, pub and hotel, the place is placed directly in front of Central Station, which makes it very practical if you need to catch a train early in the morning.  Be aware however that a lot of people going out on weekend nights go back home in a train, so the surroundings can get a little busy...

We arrived on July 29, 2011. We took the train from the airport and loved the location right away - you walk right out the front door into Central Station. It was confusing at first where we check in, but they were friendly and helped us right at the bar. They then showed us up to our room (#8), which... More
