The hotel is in a really great location. It was close to the things we went to Sydney for. It was clean, comfortable and a great price. You can hear the trains all night but that was to be expected, it is across from central railway station. The staff were nice and friendly. It was easy to check in and out. There was a good pub style food menu for lunches and dinner. It was excellent for the price.
