8.6/10 Excellent! (1,467 reviews)
Clean property, incredible bed (in my opinion), and the balcony was a nice touch. All staff i encountered were very helpful and very friendly, decent value in room dining (again my opinion). Close to the ICC (5-10 min walk). We had a wonderful stay and will definately return best sydney hotel i've been to in 2 years. Bonus points for the food and beverage vouchers for looking out for the environment.

Newark Liberty Intl. Airport (EWR) to Sydney (SYD)
8.2/10 Very Good! (2,195 reviews)
The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. Very convenient and perfect location. Close to shopping Center and Chinatown. Surrounded by so many good restaurants.
The only downside is our room is quite noisy and cant sleep specially during heavy traffic. I wish they have double glass windows to cut the traffic noise. On our second day the cleaner didn’t empty the rubbish and wash all the cups and mugs. Apart from that all good.
