This is my go to hotel when I am on a short stay in Sydney. It is cheap, has no pretentions and is on the direct train line to the airport. Sure the facilities are shared but no big deal for me . They are spotless and shampoo, body wash and conditioner are supplied. If food is required the bar has a kitchen and there are convenience stores just around the corner. I will be back in October and have already booked

Old property that isn't well maintained- the windows in my room were broken and on the street side right by the bed so it was impossible to get good sleep. The shared amenities weren't as clean as i wouldn't hoped for. Additionally with the place being located on top of a bar and the lack of a proper reception made for an interesting experience- as well as this being very loud. However, the only redeemable quality we experienced in our time were the incredible staff, they were very polite and were helpful in holding our luggage for us. It is also in a very ideal location which is why i had higher expectations.

Large room. Comfortable bed. Good views. Very noisy with rattling windows, due to construction across the street. Water needs to run for 10 minutes before it gets hot. A notice says this but what a waste of water.

We had Room #30. Right next to the old lift. One window overlooking York Street, no sound-proofing. As you'd expect barely slept with the internal (lift) and external noise. Bathroom was a shared affair, which was acceptable, given hardly anyone seemed to use it. The room's air conditioner was poor, blowing warm air even though set at 20oC. In fact the entire room got hotter as the night progressed making any chance at sleep even harder. Bottom line: you get what you pay for (and sometimes even less).

Central location. Good value. Staff were helpful. Main downside is the street noise. This is an old building with poorly sealed single glazed windows in a busy area day and night. If you can live with that then i would recommend.
