I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were quiet and tastefully landscaped, but the bathroom was tiny. The service was friendly and helpful, even assisting with booking the wrong time for the airport shuttle. The location was great, near public transport and surrounded by restaurants and bars. The dining experience was convenient and offered a coffee machine in the foyer. However, the view from the room was of an alley with air conditioning units.

The hotel exceeded my expectations in terms of appearance, but could do with smartening up. While the price is high, it's actually a good deal given the proximity to major tourist areas in Sydney. The rooms were a bit musty smelling and in need of renovation, with stained sheets and scuffed furniture.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was convenient for accessing downtown and the train station, the rooms were tiny for the price, making it difficult to relax, especially on the 5th floor lugging huge luggage. The service was top-notch with super friendly and knowledgeable staff, but the lack of space for toiletries and makeup was a bit inconvenient.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit dirty and moldy, poorly laid out, and noisy due to thin walls and windows, making it hard to sleep. On the bright side, the room was spacious, spotless, and had good snack-making facilities available at the reception. Carrying luggage was a challenge without an elevator or ramp. The staff, however, were very friendly and helpful. The location was decent, with easy access to Kings Cross Station. Dining options were satisfactory, and the gym access was a nice plus.

The hotel is small but fine for a short stay in Sydney, especially for those who just need a place to sleep in Kings Cross. The room was extremely small but adequate for our needs, given the central location. The service was a bit slow at times, causing inconvenience. The location is perfect for easy access to Coles, Kings Cross, and other attractions. The dining options were conveniently located nearby. The facilities were basic but sufficient for a short stay.
