The most important requirement for my stay was access to public transit and cleanliness, and the hotel met those requirements. The train station just across the street which is a huge plus. There are several eating places in and around the area, Woolworth is just a few meters away. The hotel is working on finishing the elevators until such time one will have to use the stairs, and because of the on going construction work, there is a bit of noise but it did not bother me. Please note that this is a pub hotel, thus there is live music on some days, again none of that noise was a problem for me during my stay. I would certainly stay at this location if I happen to come to Sydney.
