Padraigine Bush

25 August 2009 Padraigine would recommend this property

Liked: I really enjoyed my stay here, felt very much at home! I arrived at 9 am from London so I was exhausted, and they let me have the room right then and there. It's in a good location, accessible to the train station, etc. If you want to book tours or tickets of any sort, the staff is willing to help. They also have $3.00 pizza and beer nights on a Tuesday which is helpful to those travelers on a budget. If I come to Sydney again, I will definetely be staying here!

25 July 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location was really good, but I did not liked that there where only two showers for one floor, there was no cosy communal room and that the breakfast was so bad. And the internet is not really for free, you only get one hour for free for your whole stay, but all of us thought that it would always be for free.
