Liked the price for convenience in city, and walkability to shops and transport. Rooms were in okay condition, but were cleaned well.

Prepaid for room.. but were still required to provide $200 credit card , which apparently takes up to 2weeks to clear! Ridiculous considering we were in room well under 24hrs. Stayed at a further 5 accommodations during our holiday , none of which required this hold. Also bedroom was extremely tiny..very cramped .. but comfortable

Only two sachets of milk fridge not working and noise from underground trains especially overnight
Bathroom was clean. Bed sheets looked white and clean, however once I turned the lights off to sleep and had the bed side lamp on, I could see lots of stains as on both sheets (the one on the mattress and under the quilt). It was after midnight and tried to call reception and the given mobile number. Got no answer. Took the sheets off and used the quilt only. mentioned this to the reception at the checkout.
Despite I was in the room for less than 10 hours to sleep, they keep $200 deposit for 14 days!!! Very disappointing.

Elevator was not working when I arrived but it was fixed two days later.
Room was not vacuumed or toilet paper replaced, AC stopped working randomly, not coming on at all., bugs inside room, not a USB Charger 🔌
Brilliant location for a visit to Sydney. Walk to the QVB, Town Hall station, George St light rail, Circular Quay, Pitt St shopping mall and the Rocks. Excellent club next door for meals and drinks. Excellent value.
Great inner city hotel walking distance from the Recital hall. Easy to find, no stress check in and out. Affordable. A great basic no frills accommodation. Happy with the stay.
This is a great place to stay if you plan on spending all of your time in the city and just need a place to sleep. The price reflects this. It is walkable to and from the cruise ships which we did. The location is also 10 minutes or so from the walking tours. A great location if you are looking to enjoy Sydney.
This hotel provides individual custom brew coffee, taxi booking, and free laundry. They assist earlier check in if there is a unoccupied room to facilitate international travelers and hold the luggage for earlier birds as well as checking out. Reasonable price with excellent service and location. Highly recommended. Xiaoli & Ted

The company you referred for trip to airport did not arrive as reserved. VERY inconvenient. We had to hire someone else at the last minute as we waited 25 minute for a no show. Sadly I may have to leave a bad review on your website for recommending them.

Dear Ms Kay,Thank you for your review.As per our investigation, we were advised by the shuttle company that you have booked the wrong dates however, upon raising the issue, they have processed the refund back to your credit card. Thank you. We look forward to accommodate you once again. Stay safe!
A hidden jewel in the busy York Street Strip. Surprisingly pleasant decor - still looks new after a renovation some time ago, well appointed. Rooms are smaller than what I am used to, but sufficient for short stay business meetings. Does not have the full features such as cafe and bar, but the restaurants next door suffices.
A terrific location for anyone planning to walk through the city taking in the sights. Hotel is 10 to 20 minutes walk from nearly all tourists attractions.
Small room, but only to be expected in City Centre.
Very clean and modern and very good value for the location

Location excellent. I had a single room which too small, not even space for chair. Soundproofing poor which made it difficult to sleep. Lots of cracking and banging noises up until midnight.
The biggest benefit from Megaboom was how convenient it is to transportation and to sites like the Queen Victoria Building and Sydney Tower Eye. The rooms are small but very clean and they have what you need. We enjoyed breakfast next door at Bomoti but there are a number of restaurants in the area for good meals.
