"I often travel to Sydney for business and finally found a hotel that meets my standards for cleanliness and convenience! The housekeeping team did an excellent job—the room, carpet, and bedding were spotless, fresh, and comfortable. The king-size bed was great, and there was no damp smell even with weeks of rain in Sydney.
The facilities are a little dated, and I did notice some noise from neighboring rooms and the water pump when showers were running. The bathroom faucet was also dripping, which was a minor inconvenience.
Overall, this is one of the cleanest hotels I’ve stayed at in Sydney with a great location. With some updates to the facilities and soundproofing, it would be perfect!"
