Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was decent. The room, while clean, felt a bit outdated, but it was fine for a short visit. The staff was friendly and even helped me with my luggage. The location worked well for me as it was close to my workplace. The nearby shops added some convenience to my stay.
The hotel has a great location, clean and comfy rooms, and very friendly staff. The dining experience could be improved with more options. The facility offers good value for money overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were lovely, but the noise from the bar below made it hard to sleep. The lack of breakfast was a downside.
I had a great stay at this hotel with some pros and cons to consider. The rooms were spacious and tidy, located above a lively Australian bar with a sports TV and gambling section. Despite being on the second floor above the pub, there was a cozy little beergarden at the rear.
Staying on the 2nd floor above a bar with live music could be noisy, but the rooms were decent with an okay bathroom, bed, and average carpeting. The fridge was a nice addition that met our needs, offering good value for the price paid.
The hotel had clean and tidy rooms with good facilities all in one place, but it was quite noisy until closing time. The service was polite but more geared towards the bar and restaurant. The location was appreciated for long-distance travelers, although it was not the best place. The dining experience was quiet, suitable for people wanting a good night's sleep. The facilities were decent, offering a bistro onsite.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean, were located above the pub, making it a bit noisy. The private bathrooms were a plus but the overall setup was rather basic. The service was friendly and helpful, especially during check-in at the bar. The location was excellent for those traveling a distance or needing easy access to the airport, although the noise from the bar downstairs could be bothersome. The dining experience offered tasty meals in a vibrant beer garden, but the limited options may not suit everyone.
I loved the convenient location of the hotel, great for a quick stay near the airport. The rooms were spacious and tidy, but the noise from the bar below made it hard to rest before an early flight. The service was engaging and accommodating, especially considering the check-in process at the bar. Dining was quiet and perfect for a peaceful meal, although limited. The facilities were great, offering everything needed for a short stay.
The hotel's rooms, although large and clean with tea-making facilities, were not as quiet as expected. The service in the back section kitchen was extremely helpful and pleasant. The location above the outside beer garden, close to Sydney Airport, and offering good evening meals was convenient. The dining options available at the venue were recommended for those seeking a good night's sleep.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were comfortable and private, but being located above a bar made it noisy, affecting my quality of sleep. The spacious and clean room backed onto a beer garden, where noisy customers made it hard to rest. Unfortunately, breakfast was not available during my stay.
