After reading some reviews posted here, I guess I was allocated a quiet spot. The room was odor free and quiet. I rested peacefully. What I like best about this hotel is that their bed linens and towels smell fresh, the shampoo is very good, and clean room. What is slightly disappointing is that amenities were not replaced/replenished. Internet access... more

This hotel is misrepresented as a boutique hotel. It is definitly a hostel. Within 2 hours of checking in I check out, after managing to find a room at the Ibis at Darling Harbour. As I have pre-paid through Hotelclub.net, I quite readily forfeited this as 3 nights would have been unbearable! Don't stay there. more

The "Delux" room was tiny, the bathroom was just clean enough. There was a distinct smell of cigarettes in the room (non-smoking hotel). When going to bed, the bed had only one thin blanket on it and the heater did not work. After several attempts to get through to reception to request more bankets, was told I could come down... more

We booked this hotel on the basis of it's "boutique" name badge and the photos on the website. A bit disappointing. Also, the lift was not working when I arrived (following a work conference at the Sheraton - so this was a bit of a let down). The room they gave us could sleep 5 which was a bit of... more

The room i shared with a friend had a bunk bed and a full size bed. It was more like an upscale hostel than a real hotel, but it was perfect for what we needed - a somewhat central location to stop in and shower, change and sleep between visiting all that Sydney has to offer. The staff was friendly,... more

I found a disparity between the hotel's exaggerated marketing descriptions ('grandeur,' 'style,' and 'unique') and the actual experience. Yes, the hotel is conveniently located in the CBD/Chinatown area; however, it is also located on a busy, noisy eyesore of a block. My 'deluxe' double was plain, cramped and noisy (from both the street and the stairwell); and with an extended... more

This is a fairly large hotel on George Street, on the edge of China town. It has 3 floors and is over Charlie Chan's bar & restaurant. It has a 24 hour reception and I found the staff helpful. It's a good location with easy bus access to the Harbour and Bondi and it's close to the monorail and Central... more

I agree wholeheartedly with the review "Misleading Description" Jan 16, 08. I am only sorry I didn't read it before I booked. I asked for a quiet room - what a joke - it was on George Street, the windows were not double glazed, and the street noise was so loud I had to have the volume on the TV... more

The quality of service that we received during our stay was nowhere near what I would expect from a boutique hotel. In fact, it was below the standard of many hostels that I've stayed in around the world. There were three issues that created problems during our stay, all of which were not resolved when addressed with the hotel manager... more
