All went well.

amazingly designed

This is a great hotel and different to the average hotel, You can choose your room on arrival and the rooms are all different! The staff are helpful if you have a problem and very friendly . The toiletries are lovely and much appreciated!

The room was spacious and clean with a lovely outdoor sitting area, had the weather been conducive to being outside. However, I was astonished to find there was no TV in any of the rooms, although wifi was available - and the air conditioner wasn't working. The facility was not conveniently located and there was no reception area - instead a mobile number to call and the young man on duty met me in the entry corridor. The complementary snack bar, including cheese and biscuits, nuts, fruit and drinks (wine, beer, juice) was welcome, given that there didn't appear to be anywhere nearby to get a meal. The room did include a microwave and hot plate for the preparation of light meals.

Unique, comfortable, fun, friendly and different place to stay. Every room decorated differently, clean, quiet, well equipped including kitchenettes with coffee, tea and hot chocolate provided, friendly staff, strong wifi. No TVs but don't need one as there's so much else to do. Happy hour every night so you get to know the staff and other guests. In a great location amongst the Newtown / Camperdown community with everything in walking distance. Go up the street and turn left into Missenden St to catch bus 412 to the city; turn right to the Alfred Hotel (good, cheap food, and TVs), further along is the hospital, university buildings and finally to King St with shops, banks, pubs, restaurants - all you could need. Or, walk down Marsden St, turn left into Church St, after a few steps turn right into Hamilton Lane and at the end, over the road you will find The Acre - a brilliant conversion of a bowls club into a cafe, restaurant, community veggie garden! If you keep walking up Church St you come out again at King St - turn right and cross the road, you will come to the fabulous Thai Pothong restaurant - great food, decor and excellent service (best to pre book). Further along is the Newtown railway station - only 3 stops to town. Amazing cake shop in Australia St. Busy and friendly cafes in Fowler St opposite the oval beside The Acre. This hotel puts you right amongst everything happening in this friendly and interesting part of Sydney. Can't wait to stay again.
