We loved having the Central station just a few steps away. It allowed us to maneuver through Sydney and its outskirts very easily. The rooms are clean and staff is great. This place has everything you need and more.

Close to transport, the room was clean, neat and tidy. However it was way overpriced for what it was; a pub room on the corner of a noisy tram line.
