We stayed in Macon for a couple of nights just before an early flight back to the UK. The hotel was perfect for the purpose. Very convenient to get back to Central Station and to the airport. The front desk staff were really helpful in recommending the restaurants around the area and fir the taxi booking. Highly recommended.

Our stay at Park Royal Hotel on Darling Harbour was nothing short of exceptional. The club room upgrade provided a spacious and well-maintained room with a stunning view of the harbour. The dedication of the room attendant and the professionalism of the front desk staff added to the overall positive experience. The breakfast selection was impressive and the service top-notch. Without a doubt, we look forward to returning to this marvellous hotel during our future visits to Sydney.

The lodge is perfect for those looking to stay in a great spot in Sydney without breaking the bank. The rooms are spacious and very clean, as well as having excellent quality modern amenities. The shared bathroom facilities are also well maintained and clean. The staff are friendly and make themselves available either in person or over text to help with whatever you need. Would definitely stay here again next time I visit Sydney.

A really good choice in Sydney. Reception staff were very efficient and accommodation. Our room wasn’t quite ready but they offered us the lounge area that had coffee and tea including showers whilst we waited. Apartment in Block O was clean, lovely comfy bed, good bathroom and kitchen with a coffee machine, which was ideal to have morning cuppa on a nice balcony on the 12 floor.
Location was perfect, lots of shops and restaurants around in Zetland, a very short walk to the bus stop (304) into...
