The room with ensuite was very clean and comfortable and had everything I required. Bed with side table, lamp and power points for charging my mobile. There was a desk, chair and hanging space with tea and coffee facilities. Good water pressure and quick hot water, towels and bathmat. Basic but excellent. There is luggage storage, shared laundry facilities, and breakfast on site. Public transport was right on the doorstep. Groceries, other shopping and restaurants very close. Easy access to all Sydney tourist spots.

Convenient transportation, great shared kitchen and dining area. Friendly staff.

Convenient transportation, great shared kitchen and dining area. Friendly staff.

The room was arranged across from the shared male shower room. Every time someone entered or exited, the sound of opening and closing the door seriously affected the guests inside the room.

The benzene and formaldehyde in the automatic air fresheners in the bathrooms. The high price.
