The location is excellent - walkable from the city center of Sydney and beautiful parks. Many restaurants and stores around. The staff also very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and cozy. For traveling with a group of friends it’s great.

Comfortable bed, temperature control that works, absolutely welcome kettle/tea/coffee and fridge in the room; plus drinking water refills at reception. The entrance on Premier Lane is a necessity when checking in and out with luggage.
