"I arrived early, having not slept well on the flight. I was hoping to pay extra for an early check-in to rest, but unfortunately, all rooms were full. I had to leave my luggage and go out for a while before coming back. Across the street is a coffee shop, The Coffee Brewer, where I had a flat white, a Wagyu burger, and a banana cake. Then I walked past Hyde Park, St Mary's Cathedral, and explored QVB. I bought a SIM card at WWS across from Town Hall. I came back around 1 PM and checked in without any issues. The room was spacious; although it showed some signs of age, it was clearly well-maintained. The air conditioning fan was a bit noisy at night. Rooms are cleaned every 3 days, and if you need fresh towels or trash emptied, you have to request it at the front desk. The hotel also checks if you want cleaning at the scheduled time. There's a laundry room on the 3rd floor, but only one washer and one dryer were working (the other washing machine was broken). Each costs three $2 coins, and laundry detergent is $2, which you can get from the front desk. On the first night, around midnight, the fire alarm blared. I saw fire trucks downstairs. I called the front desk, and they said security was investigating the cause. I could already see people leaving the building outside. This might be a bit disorienting for first-time visitors to Australia, but it shows that locals have good safety awareness. Luckily, it was a false alarm. Note that there are restrooms only on the ground floor, but they require key card access. A very polite and courteous staff member in the breakfast area told me I could use the restrooms there. The front desk usually has fewer staff, and it can be very busy in the mornings and at lunchtime, but their attitude is generally good. For check-in, they require a card swipe on the POS machine for system records. The nearest bus stops are mostly by Hyde Park, a bit of a walk away. During my stay, the City2Surf event was happening, which made the room rates much higher that day. Overall, considering the prices in Sydney, it was still good value for money."
