Good staff. Room was like staying in a basement- and calling it compact size is an understatement. We both developed a bad cough and are still recuperating a week later. We should have looked for other accommodations and canceled our stay

On the plus side: Magnificent frontage in a central city area, which was ideal for my work-related visit. Reception staff very polite and helpful. Car parking, whilst available, was a bit of a hike away, not ideal if you are lugging a lot of bags. On the down-side: I was located in a ground floor room proximal to the laundry. It was very noisy as neighbours above were stomping about until the wee hours then up stomping about before dawn. I was terrorised all night by insects/ mosquitoes, which appeared to be coming in from under the main room door, with which I had to wedge a towel. The air-conditioner unit did not work; not great on a hot evening in a small room as felt claustrophobic. And the bathroom smelt very mouldy, not great for allergy sufferers. Would I stay again? I loved the aesthetic and location and given it was a brief business trip, I managed through the discomforts. If I was staying longer than a day, I'd shop around.

Decent hotel in a nice quiet area of the city. Hotel front and reception area is lovely, staff were friendly and helpful throughout stay. Unfortunately our room was very small and had hardly any storage, not good for a couple travelling with suitcases. The hotel seems more suited to business trips for one or two nights.

Absolutely horrendous management, so much so that it’s obvious it does not care if people return to the hotel or provide negative feedback or reviews. The hotel did not have power and the only thing the hotel did to address the problem was pass out flashlights. I’m not exaggerating. There are way too many other hotels in Sydney that would be happy to have your business, than for you to take a chance on this place.

Overall, the accommodation was good. The listing said blackout drapes/curtains, which wasn’t the case at all. Bright light shone through the blinds and sheer curtain. Can’t claim it’s blackout when the blinds don’t completely close and when the lights are off you can still see everything in the room. Also didn’t have a rainfall showerhead as stated.

We enjoyed our stay - the photos when booking were a little deceiving. The hotel was quaint, clean in a quiet location. Our room was a good size, except the bathroom, which was long and narrow - understandable given the heritage of the building, but we had a different impression when booking. We were not in the room all that much, and so not a deal breaker.
