Booked a 7 night stay, stayed 2 hours only.
Absolutely disgusting. Bugs and cockroaches in bed. No way would I have used the bathroom. 
Whole place stinks needs to be shut down, glad to see some places have stopped advertising it. 
Book here  and you will regret it.

AVOID UNLESS YOU LIKE COCKROACHES

A fantastic location in Sydney centre and walking distance to a all places.
I visitided in 14 days in december 2022 because my son Ludvig is long staying at this place (4 month) and experienced the cindly familiar atmosphere at the hotel. Tony and Sam that runs the place gives positiv energy to there guests and are very service minded.

Fantastic location in Sydney

the location is perfect just in the city and accessible to any public transport.

I've been a regular guest at this hotel. Previous stays here were wonderful but upon returning here in September 2020, the place has gotten worse. 

Firstly, the reception was awful. The guy/male at the reception was unprofessional and had poor communication and time management skills. He looked and sounded somewhat intoxicated or something actually.  When I told him about the bathroom not being cleaned or the cockroaches, nothing was done. 
Secondly, some people in the hotel are fighting and trafficking, lots of noise and felt unsafe there. 
Lastly, on a good note. The hotel is very accessible to everything- shops, tourist spots and destinations. 

Will I go back? Maybe not!

Terrible stay, lazy and unprofessional staff

Turned up to be asked for 20dollar deposit for key which was never stated. We settled our bags down out we went come back sat on the bed for 2mins later to be welcomed by 5 huge cockroaches so off we left after all of 2hours and because everyone goes off reception early (even though it seems everyone lives in the building anyway) we had to come back the next morning just to give the key and get our money back. Nothing was said about the cockroaches clearly they are happy to do nothing about it. It's gross. Just pay an extra 10 and get somewhere better unless you are happy to sleep among cockroaches and what can only be discribed as a drug den on the higher floors.

STAY AWAY.

Heritage hotel right in the heart of the city.. close to Asian food and shopping hubs. Walking distance from all the action in the CBD and Darling harbour. 
The rooms were small but clean and had fan and a heater. The staff are very friendly, accommodating  and helpful.. Overall a great stay for people who are on business trips or travelling and want a budget accommodation right in the CBD.

Great location and ideal for individuals or backpacks..

I stayed with a friend in this place as it was close to the Metro Theatre, and it was an interesting stay to say the least. The location and the price were okay but not enough to make the stay redeemable.
Reception took a $20 key deposit and couldn't find the booking at first. The hallways smelt a bit like damp stale air. The room was very sparse, just beds and a table and chairs. The TV had been taken away, but the TV channel guide was still there. There was an unusual white stain on one of the blankets, was best not to think of what it was. Some of the shared toilets hadn't been cleaned properly.
There was construction outside at 3am on a weekend night, very annoying.
We parked in a nearby parking garage and the hotel reception was supposed to stamp the parking receipt for a discount, but reception couldn't find the stamp so he gave us a printed receipt, but the parking garage didn't accept anything without a stamp and charged double the price.
There's a reason the price is low, they do the bare minimum and give you horrid service in return. Go elsewhere.

Needs a clean and some care, lazy staff, construction noises during the night

Just finished staying @ the George Hotel located in George St Sydney...
The hostel was acceptable as in cleanliness.. the kitchen was good just a few little bugs hanging @ nite time in the room but nothing terrible considering how old the building is..
But the stairs are killer I think there about 20 plus the tv was on the blink in the lounge plus construction noise outside for the new light rail being built.. but what makes a great little Hostel is the location it's close to all train stations plus Paddy's market... I'd stay there in a blink again no problemo...
