No issues with the property itself. Our room was clean and quiet. Staff at reception, dining and bar area were pleasant. We chose this venue for its proximity to the Capitol Theatre and easy walking access to transport connections at Central. Unfortunately, the location at the Haymarket end of George Street has long been a grungy area of the city with the presence of homeless people on the street and the litter left by passing revellers.

Bathroom was full of tiny flies, all over the vanity, shower, floor and walls. Bedroom had a couple as well. I ended up getting rid of around 30 of them myself. They have a clear problem with this as I also noticed in the bathrooms of the lobby downstairs. Other than that, bed was clean and comfortable. Aircon worked. It was nothing special but otherwise fine.

Paid the extra daily rate to have daily housekeeping but did not receive daily housekeeping. Most days, did not get toilet paper replenished. Had to either got down to reception and ask for toilet paper and cart it back to our room, or after the housekeeping staff had finished in our room - had to ask them in the corridor for toilet paper. Some days the beds were not made up - they just came in and emptied the 2 rubbish bins and replaced new towels in bathroom, but did not vacuum or make up beds., Used coffee cups were not cleaned.

Great position to Asian food precinct. Very tired hallways and rooms. Considering the size of the room and lack of tea choices and not clean and uncomfortable pillows it was not good value. Beautiful foyer but was a pity this wasn’t consistent with the rooms.

We liked the heritage perspective and our room on the first stay was large and comfortable, the second stay it was supposed to be the same room type as the first stay but although it was the same it was considerably smaller in room size which made it difficult with the luggage we had.

The location was close to the train station where we were boarding the Indian Pacific train. One staff member went out of her way to carry our suitcases down steps we could not manage and and took us to the area to get a taxi.
