KOKO Amusement provides entertainment suitable for families. World Square offers open-air space, with events such as 'Cinema in the Square' and 'Craft Beer Week'.

Location and Access

Situated on the corner of George Street and Liverpool Street, The Capsule Hotel is a 2-minute walk from Town Hall Railway Station. It provides access to Hyde Park, Darling Harbour, World Square, ICC Sydney Theatre, and Pitt Street Mall. Queen Victoria Building, with fashion boutiques, jewelry shops, homewares, cafes and restaurants, occupies an entire block on George Street. World Square spans three levels of a city block.

Hotel Services

The Capsule Hotel provides free Wi-Fi throughout the property. Laundry facilities are available for a charge. The main entrance is located on Liverpool Street next to ANZ Bank, on level 3. The reception hours are 10am - 9pm. All guests must be over the age of 18. It collects Internet Protocol addresses and information necessary to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction.

“The central location is a definite plus, and the concept is intriguing for those prioritizing budget and cleanliness; friendly staff also enhance the experience. However, be aware that locker sizes can be problematic, and basic bathroom facilities might feel a bit too minimalist. Overall, it presents a viable, if imperfect, option for cost-conscious travelers.”
