Its location offers convenient access to both Newtown and the city, making it a suitable base for exploring Sydney's attractions.

Great Location Near Transportation

helpful stafftrain stationclean roompoor curtain
Staff help me a lot. Redfern train station is very close to hotel, really convenient. The lobby provides room to work if needed. I am grateful rooms are clean with everything important to have a good stay.
The curtain is not good at shutting, so outside light cause sleep disturbance. I think it is a important thing to fix soon.
