The hotel is very close to busy Oxford Street, and although the rooms are slightly dated in terms of furnishing, they are very clean, the bed is comfortable, and the shower is hot and strong. The efficiency could be improved given the proximity to the bustling area.

The hotel offers clean and separated rooms, which, although a bit small for three adults, are meticulously maintained. The service provided was friendly, with staff going out of their way to accommodate extra family members. The location is excellent with easy access to public transport and nearby amenities. Dining options were good, but some aspects need improvement. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had some unique features like a separate living room and kitchen but being next to the elevator was a bit inconvenient. The blackout curtains and three beds in the Z-shaped room were interesting. The service was pleasant, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The location was excellent for accessing the city center easily via public transit, making it a great value choice for visitors to Sydney. However, the dining experience fell short with limited options and disappointing elements for the price paid.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were spacious, clean, and boasted a lovely view of the Sydney skyline, making me feel like I had struck a bargain. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff ensuring a fantastic experience. The location was ideal, allowing easy access to Sydney's cultural districts and major tourist sights. Though the dining options were slightly lacking in quality and a bit disorganized, my overall experience was positive.

As the booker among my friends, the hotel fell short of expectations with rooms that didn't match the images, causing some embarrassment. However, the service was exceptional, especially accommodating a toilet break before check-in. The location in Surry Hills was convenient for my work but lacked ideal walking access to the harbor. The dining experience was average despite booking a room with breakfast. The overall facilities were decent but nothing extraordinary.

The hotel felt like a hidden gem, with spacious and airy rooms that were spotless, equipped with lovely toiletries. However, the limited window opening was a bit restricting. The service was exceptional, particularly in rectifying booking errors, daily room upkeep, and warm hospitality. The location, though not the closest to main attractions, was exemplary with easy access to shops, restaurants, and Central Station. The dining experience was decent, especially the continental set up, even though it could be improved. The facilities offered were satisfactory, providing a comfortable stay overall.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were kept clean, but they felt more like a teenagers' bedroom than what I'm used to. We were on the 14th floor with a good view to our little corner room. The service was great, with very approachable and helpful staff, though the dining options were a bit disappointing. The location was very central, allowing us to park the car in the garage and walk to many attractions easily. Overall, it was an affordable stay with some highlights and room for improvement.

I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. The rooms were very small and expensive for just a one-night stay, especially when considering the additional parking cost that brought the total to $300. On the bright side, the staff was amazingly friendly and provided excellent service, efficiently solving any transport-related issues we encountered. However, the breakfast left much to be desired with a lack of variety and the bed was comfortable but best suited for a couple.
