Convenient Stay in Newtown

friendly staff great food

The staff was friendly and helpful (they even helped me with directions). The location was excellent with great food nearby, including a fantastic pizza place right next door. I would definitely stay again.

We couldn't open the windows so the air in the room felt very closed. The bathroom had several leaks, especially when showering, with water seeping under the tiles.

super close to everything!!!

train station quick walk endless option good food

the location was AMAZING! it was a short walk to the train station, super convenient. i had a show at the enmore theatre, and this hotel was just a quick walk away. surprisingly, the room was quiet even though the hotel sits on a busy road. endless options for good food and drinks were nearby!

my room was a bit too basic. the shower had some black mould. the bathroom was tiny and old. the floor covering was weird.

Facilities

9/10

the lobby had a really nice look with complimentary drinks available in the late afternoon. there are vintage shops and many coffee bars in the area. the metro and bus stops are really close by! a kitchenette in the room is quite nice.

Dining

10/10

the dining environment in nearby enmore road is fantastic. there are lots of local cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance from the hotel. one of the restaurants downstairs serves vegan dishes and delicious coffee!

adequate stay but some issues

street noise hard bed

The room faced a busy street and single-pane windows did little to block outside noise. i heard planes traffic and street cleaners throughout the night. the bed was also quite firm and not very long. I am average height and my feet hung off the edge. it made for restless sleep.
