The hotel is wonderfully located in the buzzing area of Darlinghurst, offering easy access to everything Kings Cross has to offer. The rooms are cozy with a double bed and huge mirrors on both sides, making the stay comfortable. However, the dining experience, while included, lacked variety. The service was excellent, and the price was a great value for the overall experience.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms were always immaculately clean, in good condition, and equipped with a small desk. The hotel's location in Darlinghurst was vibrant and buzzing, with convenient access to shops, the metro, and even the Opera House. The dining experience was a highlight with delicious included meals. However, the lack of certain facilities was a drawback, requiring extra payment for shuttle services.

The hotel is centrally located and convenient to many Sydney inner city highlights. The rooms are spacious enough for all your belongings and the baths, not just showers, are a nice touch. The hotel is always kept clean, but having only a small desk in the room can be a bit limiting.
