After reading some of the reviews for this hotel I was a little put off, however, staying in a standard twin, we booked this fairly last minute and for somewhere that was fairly close (approx 15 mins walking distance) to Darling Harbour and approx 20 mins monorail and walk to the Quay, the hotel was a decent price. It is basically in Chinatown, very close to Paddy's market and I would recommend using the monorail (get a day pass) to get around Sydney because the Paddy's market station is close and Sydney trains are pretty expensive. The rooms although quite small were adequate, sheets were clean, although the bed covers really probably need to be replaced. Staff were friendly and I would recommend this hotel for those wanting somewhere to stay close to the city on a budget.

No problesm whatsoever with this hotel. It is very reasonable , comfortable and clean. Bath is a little small but adequate. Would book up again

Booked this hotel as we were off to Sydney to see "Billy Elliot". The theatre is right next door, fantastic location! Very busy check in but staff delightful and helpful. There were seven of us and as we had arrived early only one room was ready, the other rooms were ready within 30 minute's of us arriving, so just great. Rooms are small~ish but adequate, very clean. We had three beds in our room and three chairs, bedside tables and lamps and bathroom while small was cetainly big enough, as previously suggested, to do what you need to do in a bathroom. A cupboard to hang clothes in and an ironing board! Small fridge and tea and coffee facilities. Oh and a TV. What amazed me was that we had a room facing Paddy's Market and thought that the traffic may have kept us awake at night! Hardly heard it at all! For us this hotel was very quiet. Breakfast was very good for the price and service of the young man who was clearing our table contantly was wonderful, l'm sorry l did not get his name, but he was terrific. Location of this hotel is wonderful, as mentioned a one minute walk if that to capitol Theatre, 10 minutes to Darling Harbour, across the road to Paddy's Market, 5 minutes to China Town, and a short bus ride to Circular Quay. Some very handy palces to eat close by. Yes, l would stay again.

This hotel was the first stay in Australia on my honeymoon. When we checked in it was rather frustrating that we had to go down to the basement, then go up a dirty elevator to get to our room. However, main elevator was fixed within a few hours of our stay. Staff was friendly for the most part, however, at times front desk could have used another person working as it did get really busy. Asked if they had any special deals for honeymoon couple and the lady at the desk said she could not help us to talk to management. It would have been nice if she could have took it upon herself to ask management. Room was nice for the most part. However, did get a little noisy at night. Our Queen sized bed was also two single beds pushed together. Hotel did have internet in 2nd floor lobby which was nice being from Canada and all. The location was great as all the other reviews have said. I think location is by far the best part about the trip as we were out of the room more then in it. The only real bad thing I have to say about this hotel is that we were told if we used a phone card it would only cost $.50 a cal at the most and we made about ten shorter calls and had $40.00 worth of charges. I would stay there again for the price!!

Booked this hotel on rydges web site, Billy Elliot at the Capital hotel next door. The room was very small with 2 single beds bathroom, room for one person only at a time, window faced on to a alley ,dark room very tired hotel expected more from the Rydges Group. If you want to go to see a show at the Capital ,try the Metro opposite.
