Stayed here for a week when I just moved to Sydney. The place is in a great location - minutes away from restaurants/ shops/ etc... Rooms - The room was furnished with a fridge and a AC. There was no AC control and I had to always stand on the window to switch it on and off. There was a... More

Let me start with the positive first. The location is very good especially if you want to party at the cross, and Oxford st is only about a 15min walk away. The staff a friendly enough but I get the feeling staff change frequently. Price is another bonus especially if there are 2 of you to share the costs of... More
