Check in was seamless -able to access room a couple of hours early. We were given an upgrade. The room was very nice. Our concern was that the bed was so hard we couldn’t sleep. We spoke to the front desk, they were very helpful providing us with a topper. It made a marginal improvement. The location was great -our only complaint was the hardness of the bed.

The hotel location was great. Sydney airport to town hall station around 20 mins. Town hall station to hotel, you'll probably wait longer for the green man at the road crossing than it will take to walk. It's literally minutes. Hotel was OK. Room adequate for what we needed it for. No view. Internet whilst complimentary was patchy. Netflix on TV in one room kept cutting out. There was a lounge area with complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits. Again was ok. The hotel is a good base for exploring Sydney, very central and within easy walking distance of the harbour bridge, opera house etc. Plenty of places to eat out. The Queen Victoria Building next door is a beautiful building with some lovely shops. If I just needed a base I'd stay again. Think of a travel lodge in UK and you'll be about right

It was close to the conference I attended and had eateries close by. A short walk to the train station.
