The location is ideal, at the subway entrance of Kings Cross Station, and it only takes one minute to get there by taking the elevator. It is very convenient to bring a suitcase.
Across the road is the shopping mall and the commercial street. There is a Coles supermarket on the first floor below ground, which is open from 7 am to 11 pm. It is very convenient to buy daily necessities and food.
The room decoration is old-fashioned, but it is very clean and has no odor. It is very comfortable as soon as you enter the room. The bed frame has wheels and is very convenient to move. We put the two beds together, so the children don’t have to worry about falling when they sleep. There is no garbage or dirty traces under the bed, thumbs up!
The room area is about 30 square meters, which is not small for the city of Sydney, and we go out during the day and only come back at night to take a shower and sleep, which feels very comfortable.
When booking, two children were registered. When checking in, each child received a check-in gift package, a voucher for ice cream and drinks, a room treasure map to help the children understand the room facilities, and a small record book. It can be seen that the design is very thoughtful. It adds fun to the trip.
I stayed for four nights and it was very quiet every day. I slept well. I didn't encounter any weird guests and I felt safe.
The breakfast buffet is free for children under 14 years old, which is very conscientious. Of course, the breakfast variety is not comparable to that of a five-star hotel. There are only simple fruits, bread, cereal, fried rice, and bacon, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, and tomatoes. The salad and dessert are also relatively simple. I can only say that the ingredients are fresh and you can eat enough.
Regarding the saying that Australian hotels do not have disposable items, Holiday Inn can provide all disposable items, but they are not placed in the room in advance. Just tell the front desk staff and they can all be delivered, just like in China. So you don't need to bring your own slippers, combs, razors and other gadgets.
There is a detail that is very friendly to tourists. There is a pure water and sparkling water tap at the bar, which has electricity 24 hours a day, and it is specifically stated that you are welcome to use it at any time. The clean water cups in the disinfection cabinet can also be taken at any time.
Regarding the saying that this neighborhood is ***, we did not have any bad experience during our stay. We only noticed it in the introduction of the two hundred years of history of Kings Cross in the subway station passage.
Summary: Transportation, sanitation, and service are all first-class. I will stay here again next time.
ps: A group of pilots and flight attendants will check in around 12 o'clock every night, and leave after breakfast the next morning. It feels like it should be a designated accommodation hotel for a certain airline.
On the third morning, I saw the slow pace of Kangaroo Country. The whole block was out of power. There were only sandwiches and drinks for breakfast. Later, when the sandwiches were taken away, there were only packaged snacks. The staff said that the power outage would last until noon. When we came back in the evening, it had returned to normal. At that time, I saw the calmness of the people in the breakfast room. I guess this was not the first time.
