The Ultimo

Very clean and central, short walk from China town , lots of places to eat. Not too noisy over night. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Large rooms

Very little attention to fire safety measures. I never saw one notice setting out what to do or where to go in case of fire. As it turned out, the alarm went off about 10 pm one night and a voice kept repeating an instruction to “ prepare to evacuate “, that changed to a more urgent siren and an instruction to “ evacuate”. We had no idea where to go and my wife got very distressed. The siren then stopped and no further instructions came over. Just silence. I had to go down to the desk to ask what was going on and was told it was a false alarm. Surely they could give an “all clear “ to calm people down who had been stressed by the previous messages. I wonder what woul have happened if the fire was real.

An awesome location, central to almost everything. Great information about astrology on arrival. Parking from Wilson's wad close and handy.

Corridor noise at night

Clean, beautiful rooms, close to everything.
