“I found this hotel strikes a balance with its location in the Haymarket district, offering both convenience and a taste of city life; the rooms are comfortable, appealing for short stays, though the noise levels can be noticeable on weekends. With modern decor and practical amenities like kitchen facilities, it's a solid choice for those prioritizing access to Sydney's attractions. Overall, it seems geared towards short business trips or quick city explorations.”
