You get what you pay for here - our room was small, weirdly furnished but comfy enough and clean. Unfortunately we were given a room on the ground floor, across from the lobby. This actually meant we didn’t sleep very well, as it was very loud throughout the night, well up to 4AM. Pretty sure there was a nightclub next door, as we could hear the doof doof and feel the vibration too, lol. Not the hotel’s fault, but it’s something to consider if you value a good night’s rest on a weekend.
In hindsight, we should’ve asked for a different room, but the lobby closes at 4PM… The location is good for the value, but if lines through Kings Cross station are down for construction, an uber quickly becomes preferable to the crowded bus stop directly outside the entrance! Good food nearby, not a bad walk to the pier either.
So, minus the typical Sydney public transport trite and poor soundproofing of doors, it’s a great place to stay for a night or two - I probably wouldn’t stay for longer. The Bayswater will be on our list for short Sydney visits, but we’ll try and go up a few floors next time! x
