- Rudy (7/5): -
- Ludovic (7/5): - Hotel idéalement placé avec la gare de King cross à côté. L'odeur du hall d'entrée.
- Sarah (8/5): Séjour sympathique pour quelques jours - Sympathique, personnel agréable, propre Un peu vieux
- asad (1/5): -
- Chloé (9/5): - Hôtel super, bien placé, propre et moderne. Il faut installer une application sur son téléphone pour avoir la clé mais il est toujours possible d’utiliser un code pour ouvrir les portes. Très bien ! Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de déjeuner de proposer mais sinon top !
- Adriana (6/5): -
- Madison (9/5): -
- Doroka (10/5): Its was good - Nice and clean It’s has no car park
- Mark (3/5): Stayed there before was good not good this time - Close to walks and pubs Internet poor
Bathroom too small
Very noisy
- Ayden (9/5): - They kindly upgraded me to a nicer room for no extra cost which I appreciated. The room was spacious, clean, and had a great view. The only issue was the bathroom door being broken (it came off the rail). Aside from that small issue, everything was great. I recommend.
- Sohier (7/5): - Bon emplacement
Grand lit
Salle de bain rénovée Vielle décoration et meubles dans la chambre.
- Michael (9/5): -
- Rizzo (10/5): - Tutto. Niente.

- Marco (7/5): Discreto - Posizione , gentilezza staff , prezzo Wi-Fi scadente
- Florian (10/5): -
- Emily (7/5): -
- Benjamin (7/5): Comfortable stylish room let down by nearby nightclub noise - Comfortable furnishings and linen Poor external window/door seals with noise from nearby nightclub intruding much of night
- Laura (9/5): Super! - nice area, kind and helpful staff, cozy and clean room (really nice tv, mini fridge, hairdryer, shampoo/conditioner/shower gel, tea/coffee)
2/3 mins by walk from the train station
15/20 mins with public transport from all the main attractions
- Valery (1/5): Horrible experience. Avoid it. - nothing Horrible experience. Avoid it. I had no expectation apart of place to sleep and shower, even with that it didnt work well. There is no noise insolation at all, you will hear everything 24/7, barely slept with an earplugs. Shower is leaking. Lack of daylight in the room (very small window). They wont allow to check in before 2pm and will offer you to pay 20$ for every hour if you want to check in earlier. And Ive got a refund of deposit, which they charge additionally at the check in only after I reminded them 2 weeks after check out date.
- Tong (1/5): 性价比不高,建议看看市中心其他标准化酒店 - 离地铁很近 安全问题比较大,凌晨4点遇到陌生男子敲门,联系不上酒店,最后报警了。第二天酒店建议换房,但没有什么用,经理说会回看监控记录,也并没有给到最后结论,严重影响睡眠和我的旅行计划
- Vickie (8/5): - room with a seoarate lounge area
- Woodbury (8/5): - Easy access to everything Sydney has to offer The pillows are too big,, some people may like that,, just not me
- yuki (9/5): 仕事の合間の観光 - 店員さんが丁寧に対応してくれた なし
- LEBOUHELLEC (2/5): très très décu de la taille de la chambre par rapport au prix ! mais proximite du bus et du train - la proximite des bus et de la gare la taille minuscule de la chambre sans aucune vue et mème pas une tablette pour poser une tasse de café surtout vu le prix de la chambre !!une honte
- adolfo (7/5): -
- Joyanne (2/5): - Nothing! The hotel is old It's old
- Julie (8/5): A little away from the heart of the CBD but convenient enough to get to places via public transport - Close to Train station and lots of food options nearby including 2 major supermarkets. Bed was comfortable, not too soft. Airconditioning in the room. Was a bit noisy at night due to bars nearby. Only one small lift that was very slow. Shower water drained a little slow and would accumulate on the floor.

- Ben (5/5): Too noisy to be able to sleep. - Location good. Very noisy. Aircon unit outside. Impossible to sleep.
- Andrea (6/5): - Staff was nice, the location was great. Room was clean and the GOKI app working well. Wifi was not working at all, really bad quality. Bathroom was really tiny at the point I couldn’t sit on the WC.
- Christos (8/5): -
- Allan (10/5): - Location was great and was quiet with no traffic noise.
- Jasmine (9/5): It was an amazing experience for the start of our trip - Really cool hotel and friendly staff Nothing !
- Sam (6/5): -
- Brenda (7/5): - When we had booked in, we were told our room was on the 5th floor and the lift only goes to the 4th floor, so we had to go up flights of stairs with suitcases to our room.The security fee of $100 was taken out of bank account at booking in-not credit card details held if needed.
- Matthieu CORDIER (8/5): -
- Linda (8/5): Overall very good - Location Cant get an invoice
- Rolf (6/5): -
- Pamwood (7/5): Not so diplomatic - Rooms clean, shower was good and location was quiet. Had a room to keep our luggage while we picked up a rented car We had travelled 25 hours to get to Sydney with lot of luggage and was put on floor 5 and the lift only went to floor 4 so we had to physically carry 2 30kg cases plus our other luggage up a set of stairs after over 25 hours of travel and being absolutely shattered. No one to help and despite seeing virtually no one else staying in the hotel wasn't offered a different room for ease of stay
- Charlie (6/5): -
- Matthew (10/5): -
- Jiaze (8/5): -
- Bettina (7/5): Es war sauber, Personal hilfsbereit und freundlich - Busstationen vor der Tür. 30 Minuten zu Fuß und in die Stadt. Es war sehr laut im Haus!
- DJG (5/5): - Kamer en locatie Erg gehorig, doordat raam niet goed dicht kon.
- Kirsty (7/5): Great for couple wanting nothing more than good sleep great shower and safe accommodation - No fuss, central area, great shower, comfy bed, fantastic price Rooms are a bit dark at first. No view from window but don’t let it put you off
- Benz (5/5): - On the last day, I didn't have the room cleaned. I put the do not disturb sign as I am having a sleep in. Then I left at 11.30 and changed the sign to make up room. I came back to the otek at 5.30 pm and the room wasn't cleaned. I assume cleaning is still happening throughout the hotel and I would expect the housekeeper would check again to all floors. Also when you take a shower the water would leak out of the shower and flood the bathroom
- Thomas (8/5): Service und Sauberkeit sind deutlich verbesserbar - Lage war direkt an Trainstation und zentral an Kings Cross Ablagen waren nicht sauber, Schlüssel über Goki App hat erst nach 30 Minuten funktioniert,
Empfang war bei Ankunft nicht besetzt
- Marinela (9/5): Central location and easy to CBD. - The receptionists were very helpful! Allyssa was receptive and jump to help. Rooms very clean. I would recommend to young travellers without big luggages. No Lift to last floor and they mention on hotel description.
- María Laura (10/5): -
- Sunniva (7/5): Short stay in Sydney - The location was good and the staff were helpful. Great getting clean towels dally. It was great having a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The telly was not working in room 104 and there wad a musty smell. I was moved.to another room then which was OK.
- Kirsty (8/5): Perfect for what we paid. Actually surprised by how well we enjoyed the stay. - Don’t expect 5 star rooms with a view because that’s not what you paid for, but expect a great location, lovely staff, the most comfortable bed, fantastic shower, wifi brilliant and also amenities like shower gel, shampoo etc which were great. The rooms are a bit dated. Please don’t be put off on first impressions. There is no view from the room, but leaving the blind opened gives in enough light to make the room feel bigger and brighter.
- Vladimir (8/5): -
- Jan (8/5): Tevreden over hotel, maar kamer had iets groter gekund - Prima locatie. Kamer was wel wat aan de kleine kant voor 2 personen
- Stacy (7/5): We loved the location and staff, thanks! - Staff were lovely, great proximity to bus and train, comfortable bed and pillows Room was unfortunately very dark even with the window shade open. We had to set alarms to make sure we didn’t accidentally oversleep thinking it was still nighttime.
- Mark (4/5): - Staff
Close to train station Noise
- Rosie (6/5): -
- Nieckula (5/5): Bardzo udany pobyt - Dobra lokalizacja hotelu co ci się nie Zbyt mały pokój dochodzenie na wyższe piętro schodami
Brak stołu w pokoju brak półek w łazience przy lustrze na kosmetyki
- Le Ping (9/5): -
- Donna (9/5): Would stay again. - Fabulous location. It was so easy to get to the train station and around Sydney from here. Lovely atmosphere, efficient staff. Very neat and tidy. It could be a little noisy at times. Sounds carry from other rooms. Some guests have very loud voices! Overall though, they manage that as best they can.
- Tazim (10/5): Lovely stay and friendly start - Nice and clean and good wifi, good location N/a
- Le Ping (9/5): -
- Leonard (8/5): - Room was dark
- Kyley (10/5): Sydney Trip - The location is great and the rooms were comfortable and had everything I needed. No iron in the room.
- Maisie (7/5): -
- Raffski (7/5): - Staff are very friendly. The room was a great size and comfy bed. The hotel is located next to several clubs. Although our first night was uninterrupted, the second night (Friday) felt like we were part of the party with the music (bass vibrations) going until 0330, with neither of us being able to sleep well.
- Aleksasonia (4/5): Fine, but upsetting - Good location, clean room The floor was flooded during the night whilst it was raining.
Very upsetting experience, as the money was payed, but had to wake up with soaking wet carpet and accordingly wet feet and some belongings during our holiday.
- chloe (1/5): Horrible. - Nothing was to like about the property aside from location. Upon arrival we walked in after police rescue as they were opening up the lifts where people were stuck (previous reviews seen about this happening). We got taken to our first room it was so tiny the window had a small cube outdoor space that was fully bricked so you couldn’t see out. Walked into the bathroom and there was mould all in it. Went out and paid for a room upgrade. Already paid $400 for 2 nights to pay an extra $120 for the upgrade. Went to the new room was still disgusting. There was a hole in the bottom corner of the room, the shower still mouldy but not as bad. Shower head was putrid. Marks all down the shower as if it hasn’t been cleaned. The toilet was leaking water around the base of it. The floor was disgusting. I went down and said that my mum and I didn’t feel comfortable staying and we wanted a refund and go somewhere else. The lady there spoke to her manager on the phone and came back saying they could only refund the upgrade price ($120). I had a major surgery the next night and would be staying in hospital, therefore we just stayed as I was only there for 1 night. My mum or I showered (due to how unclean it was) while there and didn’t walk around barefoot. I went and bought disinfectant wipes to wipe that handles and light switches etc as I couldn’t feel comfortable knowing it wasn’t at least wiped down where I was touching. Mind you when I was talking to the lady at the desk a couple staying walked in and also said “yeh people get stuck in the elevators too”, I also had another couple say to me while I was waiting that they could hear people people above them at all times during the night.
I’m extremely disappointed as the photos do not at all show what you will see in person. And it is sad that the lady at the front desk, when I showed her the photos agreed with me that it’s gross.
- Angela (10/5): We will be back! - Great customer service! Thank you Petra! Gave us a lot of wonderful tips. Next to kings cross Train station. Next to great food. n/a
- Christopher (7/5): - Location was good Rooms were so small you couldn't even pass each other
- Jonathan (10/5): -
- Egidio (9/5): -
- Alexander (3/5): -
- Christiaan (7/5): Voor ligging een goede optie als je de stad wil bezichtigen. - De locatie in het centrum van Sydney. Het zit dichtbij een metrostation. De badkamer was erg klein en we keken uit op een binnenplaats met airco ventilatoren.

- TIAN (7/5): -
- Mathis (8/5): -
- Sam (2/5): Good location but disappointed with the customer care and service. - Good location. In the first room we stayed in there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke coming from the bathroom both days. The smell was so bad that we had to ask reception to move us. Reception offered us no support with moving (moving bags) and moved us to a worse room. In the second room there were issues with the air conditioning and it kept leaking. The staff mentioned they would speak to a manager about the issues with the first room but this never happened despite asking to lodge a complaint about the way the smoke smell was dealt with. Very disappointing level of service. The shower also leaked.
