- The size of the room - it was a glorified walk-in closet. I am not kidding. Also, we did not realize there was no central heating.

Minimal room with good location
Need to check in at other hotel. Just aroud 8 mins to walk
The location was amazing. The room was exactly like the photos, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom got the job done. Combining the toilet and shower was only awkward in one of them. For the price and especially the location, it was worth it. Plenty of great food options nearby.
The property didn't have a lift, and our room was at the top of 3 flights of stairs. It made it a lot harder to get to the room while the humidity was so high. Also, make sure to find parking somewhere close by since the inn doesn't have on-site parking.
good for toilet and bedroom
too small Fan that not comfort and sweat all body during sleep on the bed.. must big or medium fan so good enough and good comfortable sleep
rooms are basic, but meet the needs of a budget friendly request
sound from the bar downstairs
Location only
Reception in a different building, room in level 3 with no lift, no air conditioning and the room was so hot, no iron no hair dryer despite the ad saying they do provide
the buliding you sleep in is in a really good location in the city and the room is pretty spacious and clean and quiet during the day and most of the evening, there is a pub underneath the hotel so sometimes live music is played
there are lots of stairs and you need to share the bathrooms with others, which can be a disadvantage as a cue for the bathroom/toilet can form and the pub downstairs is rather loud when live music is playing from 9 pm- 2 am on certain nights
Location,rooms clean
Kitchen lacks ability to cook meals
The hotel environment is very pleasant and well maintained, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere throughout the stay. The price is reasonable and offers great value for money compared to similar hotels in the area. Most importantly, the staff are extremely friendly, warm, and welcoming. They are always happy to help and ready to assist with any requests, which made the overall experience even more enjoyable. I had a very satisfying stay and would happily choose this hotel again.
The location was amazing. Easy to walk to central station and get my way around from there. The room was bigger than normal and clean. The bathrooms were relatively clean.
The rooms were hot and could benefit from ceiling fans or aircon. They provided small space fans that were not adequate. The stairs were hard to use and we needed to use the service lift to take our big bags up. The bathrooms got wet and slippery easily. Better drainage would helps.
Good location and room was clean
Check in at a different location, and had to climb a few flights of stairs with a 25kg suitcase
The staff were polite and friendly and helpful
Check in at one building and stay at a different location. The stairs up to the rooms were high and difficult to carry suitcases up the staircase. Would have been nicer to have a sink at least in the room to wash hands and face. There was no airconditioning in the room.The beds were bunks, not suitable for bigger women like me and my sister, one of us ended up sleeping on the floor. Not having enough bathrooms and toilets to share, only 2 on our floor
Good central location, room was spacious, staff was very friendly at reception
No reception in the hostel (you have to go around the corner in another one), so if you need help they have a phone number but being able to speak to someone is nicer and more efficient most of the time. Internet didn't work during half of my stay.No individual light at each bed,
Cleanliness
No lift for elderlies like meOne bathroom for girl and one for man in 3rd floorVery noisy at nite to sleepNO AIRCON!
Fantastic availability to nearby attractions.Very basic and suited our needs for two nights
The bar below was very drum and bass
It was very central, staff were lovely and decent value for where you were
The stairs, if you are someone who struggles with a lot of stairs this isn’t the place. They do share an elevator with the bar next door but you have to do it at a certain time,
Quiet, smaller hostel with great bathroom and kitchen facilities! There is also a single washer and dryer here for laundry if needed which is good. The location is great for getting to sightsee and has all available public transport nearby.
You have to go to the Pod Sydney to check-in which is up the road and around the corner then come back down the same way with your key to get in - it’s just a bit tedious. As well as having no lift so dragging your bag minimum 2 flights of stairs before getting to the first floor of rooms. Also no privacy curtains on beds.
