this place gives no pretentions of opulence but it is quiet, clean and friendly. It is situated in a quirky area on a main road with plenty of restaurants, pubs, bookshops etc and an excellent bus service to the centre of Sydney one way and Bondi Beach the other way. An excellent buffet breakfast is served in the restaurant (which only opens for breakfast) and a cooked option is available for an extra $5.00AS (which is well worth the money). There is a very pleasant garden courtyard with a pool, but the weather was not suitable when I stayed. There is no bar but the pub next door is OK and has a reasonable food menu. The hotel has produced a guide of what to do and where to eat etc which, as a newcomer to Sydney, I found useful. Reception staff were also very helpful indeed. I was travelling alone and this hotel met all my needs; if I was wanting a romantic break with a new girlfriend then I would not choose it.
