Super clean and nice design

Nitpick, but this hotel should stop marketing itself as 5 star. It is 4 star at best; I struggle to name a trait that makes it 5 star, it does not even have the basics like a swimming pool, gym, let alone things like valet. It is just a super new and clean hotel with some notion of interior design.

This is a colorful and quirky hotel. Perfect location and an excellent neighborhood near CDB. Not far from the train station and a short walk to many restaurants and pubs.

I can confirm what many other reviews say about a grumpy old guy at the front desk. I’m an old guy too. There is no excuse for that kind of rudeness. In fact he should know better. However, everyone else was helpful and friendly. If you don’t mind, light switches on the other side of the room from the bed,and extremely bizarre bathroom configuration. This is the place for you. Form over function.

The location, the decor throughout the hotel. The space in the room. Comfy bed. Friendly enough service.

There wasn't clear signage to the hotel reception v.s apartment entrance as it is in the same building with the apartment. Google maps took me to the apartment entry. The funky bathroom design/ set up is more for look than functionality. The carpet in my room can do with some deep clean/ wash as there were stains in a lot of places. None of the above are deal breakers though. Next time I will know this hotel is up on a hill and will be prepared as it is a decent hotel with the rate I paid.

Nice modern building with spacious rooms and a stylish lobby with lots of seating and a cafe. Bed was comfortable and hotel was very quiet. Clean laundry room located downstairs, but for exorbitant prices ($15).

Room was very oddly laid out — a large chair takes up a lot of space, requiring the bed to be pushed against the wall and giving access only to one side. The bathroom was also really weird — heavy glass door swings inside and out and is both the door for the bathroom AND for the shower. Not very accessible and the floor gets very wet with a shower.

The location, size of room, and staff members were all perfect. It’s a lovely hotel with loads of character in both the lobby and rooms. Location-wise, there were at least three bus stops within 1-3 minute walk that easily got you all over Sydney easily. There was a great cafe downstairs that we got coffee from every day and had a great breakfast at one day as well. Our friends also stayed here and they were allowed to check in very early which was super nice.

Only two things and these are probably personal preference: the lighting in the rooms was full-on blast overhead lights or way too weak bedside lamps and the carpet, though interesting, was quite busy so I kept tripping over things that I usually would have seen (and also should have been put up anyways).

The staff were so understanding and helpful, I really appreciated the staffs help. We were having an family emergency and their willingness to go that extra mile for us, especially Hagi and Jaime, who was there in our dire time of need ~ We will forever be grateful for their outstanding service and kindness. I loved how colourful the decoration was and how clean and easy it was to move around. No matter where you are, it is photogenic. Bored of working in your room? Go to the lobby, tired of that spot, go to the other side of the lobby, it’s excellent. Easy to walk around and navigate to public transport. Also love the chairs in the lobby, reminds me of Task Master the tv show.

Nothing. I loved everything. If I was being forced to find something, I would like a vending machine for late night nibbles. But that’s not a big issue because the location is so convenient for Uber rides and food delivery services to get to and there is a pub across the road and a convenience store 4 minutes away if you really want something late at night to eat.

We arrived early in the morning when we returned from a New Zealand cruise. The staff was helpful and we could leave our luggage at the accommodation then go for a walk and look around until check-in time. Once we arrived back we even got our room early! They also helped us book taxis when we needed them. The hotel's location is good. It is on a quiet street next to/behind a police station and close to busy Oxford Street. I didn't mind it but it is on a hill and might be difficult for some people. The lobby was located inside the building and by the entrance there was a café. The room was large and had, as requested when booking, two single beds for me and my dad. There was a small fridge, a kettle and a capsule coffee maker in the room. The bathroom was also roomy and although the showers had those hot and cold faucets it was easy to get the water to an agreeable temperature. One lovely detail was that we stayed over New Year's and when we arrived back from watching the fireworks in the harbour there was a bottle of sparkling wine waiting for us and a cute message from the hotel wishing us all the best for 2025!

They had one large and one small elevator leading to the part of the building with our room and the signs weren't always working, I think. Sometimes it said that the elevator was on our floor but then we had to wait for the other to arrive anyway. It also took some time to get the elevator to come to our floor. They mixed up our towels a couple of times. First, we got too many towels, then we returned after a day out and we had only the large towels for the showers. Then we asked them for new ones and got too many again. There was no open restaurant at the location and the café in the same building was not part of the hotel. We managed but if you really want a hotel breakfast it is not available.

Clean and fresh rooms, very modern looking. Great shower and coffee facilities welcome after traveling. Curtains great for keeping light out and bed/bedding comfortable. Very local to main city and we enjoyed the walk or public transport in. Staff very welcoming and the hotel in general was edgy, clean and modern.

An iron in the room would have topped the room off. The breakfast area / coffee bit didn't blend in well, we used across the road in all honesty. The bed was poorly situated and no plug by one side meaning one of us didn't have access to energy for charging phones etc

All you could need and more! Great central location with lots of Transport, good food and shopping nearby. My room was really large and had been updated recently to a high standard. On top of the standard set up, there was lots of storage, a shoe bench plus a comfy bench and little table area which was great for a little dinner and movie night with the TV enabled with Google cast. Laundry, cafe and lots of other amenities in the building too.

Everything was excellent, but the laundry is a bit expensive at $30 for a coin laundry wash and dry.

We've stayed here before and loved it, because of the staff and the comfort of the rooms and closeness to the city either walking or catching a bus. The guy who checked us in wasn't very friendly, but all the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful. This time our room was very small, with one side of the bed up against the window and not much room to move around in (708). The carpet in the room was really stained and needs a good clean. The rest of the room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Aircon is great and quiet, big TV, chair and desk, pretty quiet. I would stay again, but specify a bigger room.
