Accommodation was in a very convenient location. Out of 2 female toilets, 1 flooded easily and took a while to drain. For females, bathrooms and toilets are separate. Tap in our room was not secured but still worked. Dishwashing sponge that was provided in our room had mold on it so we did not use it, albeit dishwashing liquid was provided if you so wish to use it. Pictures unrelated to accommodation.

Very clean. There's a bistro on the ground floor and the location is fantastic—super close to everything. You can easily walk to the Sydney Opera House. The bathrooms are also kept very clean, and having separate facilities for men and women is a thoughtful touch.

After an early morning flight, I only got a few hours of sleep. This place above an old bar in Sydney's CBD cost 500 RMB. It's conveniently located, has its own bathroom, one double bed and two single beds. The facilities are a bit old but clean. What more could you ask for?

The elevator was really shaky, didn't feel like a proper hotel. Booked two nights but only stayed one. Ctrip wouldn't let me change or refund. I'd recommend booking a legitimate hotel; it's safer and cleaner. When you're traveling, you should eat well, sleep well, and be in a good mood.

Excellent location in the heart of Sydney, close to the Opera House and Darling Harbour. Downstairs, you'll find supermarkets, a subway station, and plenty of restaurants. The rooms are bright, airy, and very clean, and the service is exceptionally attentive.

The location of this place is absolutely unbeatable! It's super convenient, with the subway station right across the street. The subway station even has a Coles supermarket, which is incredibly handy for grabbing some food. Plus, another supermarket downstairs accepts WeChat Pay, which is a huge bonus! There's a bar downstairs, which gets quite busy every day, but it closes at 10 PM, so it's not noisy at night because of the bar. However, it can still be quite noisy, probably because it's in a central transport hub with so many people around. I had a room with three beds all to myself, and the sheets were very clean. The room also had a sink, microwave, and fridge, which was actually quite accommodating. The only downside is that breakfast isn't provided, and it's not super convenient to make your own. The bathroom is outside the room, but I never encountered anyone else in the toilet or shower during my stay.

It's quite unique, with a bar downstairs. I happened to be there on Anzac Day, so the bar was packed. For check-in, you just go directly to the bar. For check-out, you simply drop the key into a designated slot. Given its location and price, it's a great option for solo travelers.

We arrived in Sydney on an early flight, and thankfully the hotel allowed us to check in early, giving us a relaxed day to go out and explore.

The location is simply unbeatable—so convenient that you can easily pop back from the QVB to drop off your shopping bags and head right back out. It's also super close to the light rail and train stations. However, the soundproofing is really poor, so light sleepers should think twice. Even when the downstairs bar isn't noisy, the traffic outside can be heard all night long. Recommended for budget-conscious young people who are heavy sleepers.

DO NOT RECOMMEND. Absolutely bad experience. No reception, no service, not picking up my calls from trip.com. We wanted late check in and have been calling the hotel since 5-7pm, NO PICK UP. Very bad hygiene, lots of cockroaches, aircon is SO LOUD and make noise every 5-8 mins. Bathroom light is not working, no hot water. No house keeping, only gave us new towels after the third night. Downstairs is a pub so customers will be blocking the elevator and you have to walk up for 3 floors. We even had to walk down to the pub and ask for WiFi password in our pyjamas. The only good thing is location. Close to train, light rail and bus stations

I mean the price is the cheapest and the room is not that bad if you are just going to sleep at night. But not the best if you wanna relax long time inside. The toilet are shared outside the rooms. Very good location near Metro nd stuff

Reception was closed half the time and had to wait outside the building when checking in. Hot water doesnt work sometimes. Walls too thin and people complain if we talk.

A very good place, and a great host. The gesture to provide a juice to my kid on the day in which we arrived early to keep the bag was a great example of hospitality
