Excellent location and the nicest and most helpful staff.

Very cute, older but updated small hotel. We didn’t get to try the coffee as our flight left very early, but it looked great. Very convenient if you are visiting someone staying at Scape Ultimo. Easy to walk to shops and restaurants.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay. The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. Although the hotel is a little outside central Sydney, it was still within walking distance of Pitt Street and Circular Quay, making it a convenient base for exploring the city.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. The location was great, the room was clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They really made us feel comfortable and went out of their way to help us. The only downside during our stay was that it happened to be moth migration season. At one point, we had around 10 large moths flying around our room. They would hide during the day and come out at night, flying around the room and even waking us up. Apart from the moth situation, we had a very positive experience. The hotel was clean, the location was excellent, and the staff were absolutely wonderful. Just be aware that moth migration season can affect your stay during certain periods.
