Australia“Great location close to Central train station. Access to Haymarket (Chinatown) and easy walk 10 minute walk to Darling Harbour. I also like that they have washcloths in the bathrooms, a small thing but increasingly unavailable in a typical hotel...”- Jo Australia“GSH is well located when arriving at Central Station by train or coach. There is a large Woolies Metro close by if you want to self cater. It is easy to visit other locations in the city using public transport.”
- John Australia“Nice place close to city and light rail and bar and restaurant downstairs.”
- Ross Australia“For train travellers, the location is excellent as it is just a short walk to Central Station. There is also a wide range of restaurants within walking distance, particularly featuring Chinese cuisine. We actually left an article of clothing in...”
- Natalie Australia“Stones throw from Central Station. There was no street noise at night. Rooms very comfortable. The young lady at reception was lovely, we had just got off a cruise and she allowed us early check in at no extra charge.”
- Anne Australia“Location. So handy for train station, tram etc. It’s clean, fairly basic but all that’s needed for a quick weekend visit. Good prices most of the time. Stay here often when an overnight or two night stop. Breakfast options great for the price.”
