BreakFree on Broadway Sydney

Service is great

Take note: All rooms named standard queen room are without windows regardless labelled with or without window. False advertisement on trip.com. Very clean and comfortable stay. Was attended by Julie when checking in, she was very helpful and was able to address our concerns about airport transfers and luggage storage. Water pressure was good too. The only downside is the centralized air conditioning which can’t be controlled or switched off. It was too cold in my room and too warm in my parents’ room. Location was good too, about 10-15 mins walk to central station.

If you're in Sydney for The Swinging Cat World Championships, this is NOT the hotel for you. Tiny (but clean and modern) rooms. The hotel exists to try and deliver a bit of value to cheapskate tourists like myself. You're right on Broadway (not to be confused with actual NYC Broadway btw (whose photos are somewhat wankily plastered all over the lobby)), so there's no excuses for not walking everywhere; and Julie on front desk may not be able to get you a bigger room but may find you one with a window (!) as she runs the place with a friendly, but ruthlessly matter-of-fact demeanour that brings to mind the (often hidden) intended benign benefits of authoritarian Facism (not that I'm a fan, mind). She's also there literally ALL the time to the point that she may in fact be an unthreatening-AI-robotic-beta concept-receptionist. You're not going to like it...but then again, you probably know that already...aaand, it's certainly better than a hostel.
