10/10 Excellent
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...

We really loved staying at Adge on Riley St. it’s a great location, with plenty of cafes and transport links nearby. The staff were really helpful and friendly, no problems at all. The room itself was fab! We had a balcony room and I was really big with a huge balcony! Just as described! We definitely stay here again. The coffee shop downstairs was also really good. We didn’t eat in the restaurant but it looked super cool and high class :)

We opted to stay here mainly for the commanding view this hotel has over the bridge and opera house and from that perspective it didn’t disappoint
Had a better view than the bar on 36th floor / where the drinks were reasonably priced surprisingly.
Great location to walk to circular quay and recommend the .Brew co nearby got breakfast (always prefer to out of hotels if possible)

Great little hotel very close to central station, which is just a few minutes on the metro or light rail to the harbour. Staff were lovely, and there's complimentary coffee/tea available in reception 24 hours.

The location was ideal. A stones throw from the Chinatown light rail stop making it easy to explore Sydney. My room was clean and comfortable with a decent sized bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful and the light breakfast was excellent. I would definitely stay there again.

Central location, helpful and friendly staff. My room was a bit cramped with no room for my case, but adequate for my short stay. A slightly smaller bed in the room would have left more space to move about.

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.
