Nice hotel in good neighbourhood. Room big and convenient, no outlets by the bed though Small pool with nice temperature The restaurant had lunch for 15 Aud and there were many tasty vegetarian options. Staff wasn’t really welcoming, no smiles, except for Dennis and Maxim in the reception, they were super friendly and helpful I would consider stay there again if I go to Sydney

Lovely hotel, booked it without even realising it was where we stayed the last time. The shower-tub was a bit slippery even with their little mat, so I got a huge bruise on my leg, but other than that it was a great stay.
