This is a perfect place for my five night long work trip. The check-in was very easy. Aimee was extremely efficient with communication and the welcome message was full of information and instructions on what to do and even where to eat which was helpful.
The room it self was great. It's a good size for one person for sure, and would be good for a couple as well. it is minimal, but has everything you need. I did not cook as it was easy to get food nearby. There are plenty of options. The shower and toilet are great and clean. no issues there at all and the hot water and water pressure are great.
The bed was quite comfortable and two pillows with cases were provided with an additional pillow in the closet should you want it. It was great weather in Sydney so I did not even use the fan actually nor needed heating. The room was a comfortable temperature all day. The sun comes in in the morning, but there is a heavy pretty much black out shade you can pull down to block the sunlight if you want to sleep in.
The balcony was great. Still very private as the wall is high, but it was nice to have a private little outdoor space to the room.
The building was great. There are work desks on the 3rd floor and a communal kitchen and large dining table and that area opens up to the outside. I actually didn't go use that area at all. I ended up working in my bedroom most days unless I was out for meetings and around town. I didn't feel the need to go upstairs but I imagine if you are staying with someone else, it might be nice to have a seperate area you can go to. There are games upstairs at the communal dining/kitchen area and I met some nice other guests.
In the ground floor, there is a pool table and ping pong table where the laundry machines are. I also didn't get a chance to use these but that is a fun idea for next time if I do laundry!
the neighbourhood is awesome and I think this was a really great deal for the location and cleanliness. I used my own internet mostly because I have a crazy amount of data, but I think when I was connected to the provided internet, it was fine.
I would 100% stay here again and recommend staying here if you are looking for a simple, straight forward well located spot in Sydney's inner west to stay in. it's not fancy. But it's clean and has some good ammenities.
