RinaJapan共用シャワーにあるドライヤーが強風。スタッフさんの愛想がいい。

Questions about Wake Up! Sydney Central
What time is check-in and check-out at Wake Up! Sydney Central?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Wake Up! Sydney Central allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is breakfast included at Wake Up! Sydney Central?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Wake Up! Sydney Central have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Wake Up! Sydney Central have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Wake Up! Sydney Central?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Wake Up! Sydney Central?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
