    I stayed in a double room and was very impressed- very clean, neat, enough space, cosy blankets. The bathroom was also very good with very clean showers. Great value for a short stay in Sydney!

    Maryia C. (May 2013)

    Easy access to and from the train. Transport easily accessible. I love the outdoor heated spa. You just lie there in the middle of Sydney and look at the city. Really great.

Shop and cafe/bar hop in the trendy inner city suburb of Surry Hills, just behind Central Station.
