"The location is great. The host was great with communication. We are a family of four and enjoyed the layout and location. I would stay again. The only strange thing was that the stairwell had a musty smell but it didn’t smell in any of the areas that you’d spend time in such as the bedrooms or kitchen."

Paradox Sydney

10/10 Excellent
"The location of the property was perfect for walking and exploring the whole city. Sydney Opera House only a short 10 minute walk away. Plenty of coffee shops surrounding if you don't want to have the breakfast at the hotel (you can choose a la carte from hotel) Front desk staff friendly and helpful. Room was cleaned daily (you have an option to skip daily cleaning for a $10 food credit). The on-site restaurant was delicious."
