“A stay here is a lesson in Sydney history, but be aware that comes with thin walls and echoes from the pub below. For those attending events at the ICC, its location is exceptionally convenient, and the free breakfast is a welcome perk. If you're seeking modern polish, look elsewhere, but for a budget-friendly base with character, this place delivers.”
