The hotel is situated right next to Sydney Central train station, providing easy access to all the city attractions. The rooms offer all the basics but lack a Queen bed option, which may be less comfortable for taller guests. Service was outstanding overall but had a delay in basic customer service. The location is convenient for transportation but some facilities showed wear and tear. Dining was delightful with great views and central location offering filling meals, although breakfast prices were on the higher side.

I was somehow disappointed that my room, with a good view, was still pitch dark despite the blazing sunshine outside. The upgrade didn't quite meet my expectations, but the hotel staff were outstanding with their service, making my stay enjoyable. The location was perfect for easy access to public transportation and visiting various attractions, but not being in the CBD might be inconvenient for some. The dining experience was lovely with individually served meals, though some chaos during seating was noticeable. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives, but a decent stay overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was comfortable, but they ran out of green tea and shower caps on my last night. The staff, though, was amazing - friendly, helpful, and very professional. The location was really nice, easy to find and suited our needs, but there were some service hiccups like having to fetch my own cutlery. Overall, a mixed experience with some great aspects and a few letdowns.
