- Chris (8/5): - Friendly at reception
- Guest (10/5): -
- Alexandra (7/5): -
- Adam (10/5): - Stayed here a few times and room 33 I recommend- it has a private ensuite and clean and comfortable. Was grateful to get out of the rain and have a last minute booking available.
- Barrie And Beverley (8/5): - Proximity to venue Old looking and needing a refurbishment
Rooms were cleaned but found drink from previous person in fridge
- Julie (7/5): Good value for money and great location - Comfortable bed Tiny bathroom and no bedside light
- Jamie (9/5): - Friendly staff, close to train station for convience and shop. Room is very clean. Bathroom. At night the sensor plays up to rurn lights on. Having to wave it while showering.
- Adam (6/5): - Lokalizacja Czystość, mały pokój, stosunkowo drogo
- jo (8/5): I was comfortable and happy staying at Highfields - Staff was excellent Stairs
- Filip (10/5): - We had a great stay and really enjoyed this property. It has everything you need for a comfortable visit and the price-to-quality ratio is absolutely fair. The location is fantastic – within easy walking distance to the Opera House, the Botanic Gardens and the CBD, which made exploring the city incredibly convenient.
The staff were super friendly throughout our stay. Prythm welcomed us very warmly on arrival, clearly explained everything we needed to know, and was always available whenever we needed assistance. His attitude and professionalism truly stood out and made us feel very welcome. It’s rare to meet someone so genuinely helpful and positive – his effort and hospitality definitely deserve recognition.
Overall, a very pleasant experience and we would happily stay here again.
- Malcolm (8/5): - Quite and clean No Internet
- Ferdy (10/5): - Very close to the train station The car parking was full and the nearest private available was far away
- Leonard (1/5): - There was a cockroach in the bed, blood smeared on the bathroom wall and loud people in the corridor outside all night.
- carla (2/5): -
- Alison (8/5): fine for one night - location, availability of secure parking for a fee Room had a kettle but no glass, no cup, no spoon, no coffee tea or milk- for the amount of money I think that should be included- I have never stayed in a motel/hotel in Australia where that basic stuff was not provided. A fan was provided but the a/c didnt work at all
- Angus (10/5): Perfect location for our trip - The whole experience and customer service
- keith (10/5): exceptionally helpful staff who work hard to accommodate guests. terrific value for money. - very friendly staff who work hard to accommodate guests
- Antoinette (7/5): - L'emplacement, le monsieur à la réception, la cuisine C'est bruyant ! On entend les gens au dessus marcher, la musique... Mais avec des bouchons d'oreilles ça va
- Hannah (8/5): -
- Andrew (8/5): thanks - I'll be back ! - hotel is always clean & no odd smells or noise at night, it's in an amazing location - that's why I keep coming back
- Olivia (1/5): false advertising, unhelpful staff, disgusting hygiene - nothing really was dirty, no information on latest arrival time (10pm), cockroaches in the BED
- Kent (1/5): Never come back for that money you spend. - Never go there again highly un recommend the place Tv not working no room for 3 adults internet pic does not reflect the room
- Federico Giuseppe (5/5): -
- Lee (10/5): To summer my stay in a short sentence I would prefer it as I have and simply use the word “ fantastic”. - Is a great Building, rooms are spacious and well kept, the people behind them with the staff are fantastic and Danworth and went out of the way for me over a few different days actually Nothing really, it’s a pain having to walk that last floor at the stairs but you know that’s structural so I can’t really complain about it. Actually, no put a lift in just for me I demand it LOL sorry.
- Thai (5/5): - I asked for a desk in the room while I was doing booking. I got the confirmation notification. However, I got the room without the desk. I went down stair to ask the staff for it, he confirmed to take one to my room sometimes later. However, until I checked out, no desk was equipped in the room. I was there for business trip that I need a desk to work on.
- Vera (9/5): -
- Marion (8/5): Bon rapport/qualité prix - Nous avons eu la chance d’être surclassées donc encore mieux que prévus. Pour cette localisation et ce prix, c’était bien. L’accueil était vraiment top, merci ! La décoration, pas très neuf…
- Adam (10/5): - I was upgraded to the room with private bathroom (Room 33) and it exceeded my expectations and the staff were great, particularly Adrian who was excellent and helpful. In room TV easy to stream from youtube and Netflix. Air conditioning not available in all rooms
- Wirat (6/5): -
- Virivolomo (10/5): It was exceptional and better than others i have stayed in - I like the bathroom were clean. And it was closer to the metro station
- Mohammad (1/5): -
- joel (9/5): -
- Felipe (10/5): Bien - Muy buena ubicación La habitación no era la de las fotos, pequeña.
- Michael (8/5): -
- John (7/5): - Location, price, convenience to food. Noise from addicts and mourners. A little more room for the bathroom would have been nice? The cockroaches didn't like me being there.
- Anders (6/5): - Bra läge. Personalen hjälpsam. Mycket lyhört och mycket ljud. Väldigt små rum.
- Richard (9/5): -
- Deanna (8/5): - Location price staff were great
- Agnieszka (2/5): -
- James (4/5): - location
and the staff member who welcomed me was 100% - no complaints there overpriced - not many rooms available spnthe price was hiked to something well out of line with the quality provided.
also, just as I was leaving I saw a cochroach on the floor. didn't bother me as I was going but not ideal.
- wilson (4/5): - 位置和热水。 房间狭小,设施少,床铺和床上用具不足,没有衣柜,床头柜,3人用一张方凳,没有开水壶,吹风机,空间太小,窗帘也不隐私。
卫生间太小,十几个房间只有2个公共卫生间,1个洗脸盆。只有2个淋浴房,隐密性差。没有毛巾等洗洁用品。
- bruno (6/5): -
- Angela (2/5): -
- Cody (10/5): -
- Dylan (8/5): - Everything is close together with this property, which makes it really easy to find entertainment or food. :)
In the summer it might be a bit of a challenge as some of the rooms don't have air conditioning or fans, but otherwise they're very cosy and Adrian will definitely look after you. :D
- Brenda Lee (10/5): Affordable accommodation great location - Great location Nothing to not like
- Greg (10/5): Stunning - Absolutely stunning location and the private rooms are so cute enough room to live comfortably the staff especially Adrian was amazing toiletries were provided a big bonus. Nothing
- David (8/5): - Look, it is only a 1 star hotel and so expectations need to remember that. The pub patrons next door like to sing so ear-plugs are essential. For my purpose, a room to sleep in and no more, it was great. Clean, comfortable bed and close to food. Bathroom clean, hang everything on the high hooks, everywhere else gets wet including the door. If I need to stay in central Sydney again I'll use the Highfield again.
- Paola (7/5): Centrale e comodissimo coi mezzi. Gestione affabile e cordiale disponibile. Sconsiglio a famiglie. Ottimo per ragazzi e - Posizione, accoglienza e disponibilità Wc molto piccoli, stanze piccole, finestre poco isolanti
No ascensore per tre piani.
- Neil (10/5): -
- Dolstra (8/5): Very happy with the room and staff - Great stay, staff were very accommodating and friendly. Rooms simple but clean and perfect for an overnight stay. Location was convenient to the event we attended. No lift and 4 flights of stairs lol
- Shawaiz (2/5): Less than average - Car parking option shows while booking but actually there is no parking available in hotel.
- Anthony (2/5): -
- Julie (8/5): - Clean and convenient. A bit dated though.
- Lia (5/5): -
- Shamik (9/5): Superb -
- Phillip (6/5): - Property was as expected. No highs, no lows. Clean, tidy, friendly. Was only there to sleep. Good price.
- brooke (8/5): - Front desk staff were extremely helpful and kind making the trip super easy when I was on a busy business schedule
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Old hotel with some charm and good service when the owner is in attendance. Was given a free upgrade which was greatly appreciated... but unfortunately the property has roaches. Saw one in each of the rooms I stayed in. If the roaches are cleared up, I would stay again.
- Lee (9/5): Will stay again - Location. Ease of codes for room Conflicting check in time 10pm or 8pm? Arrived 9.30pm and had to call twice as hadn’t looked at any emails after booking to say call before 8 to make arrangements for later check in.
- Egli (10/5): Exceptional -
- Henry (9/5): Superb - Everything was really good. No complaints To much stairs but it’s that ok for the price
- Penelope (10/5): Great location - Great location. After hours check in.
- Jesse (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thinley (10/5): Wonderful - The room was comfortable and cozy. And it is very convineint for shopping.
- Jan (8/5): Very small room but convenient location - Good location in buzzing part of Sydney - walking distance from both the Allianz stadium and the bridge/opera house area. Expensive for size of room but you’re paying for it being Sydney. Very small room - no space even for a seat and only one pillow for 2 people staying. Parking A$25 extra - but that’s for a full 24 hours. Could see Syndney Harbour Bridge from the car park (opposite the hotel). Only view from our room was of a brick wall. No (working) lift.
- Jasmine (5/5): Passable -
- David (4/5): - Good vibe street...
Accommodation is dated...
- Teresa (5/5): Passable - location, access to ammenities, price mould in the air con, sink and shower
no doonah cover and stained doonah
- Dane (10/5): Exceptional - Close to everything and clean facilities
- Nasrin (4/5): Disappointing - No parking available.
- Nelly (10/5): - A friendly greeting. Offers of assistance and a feeling of homeliness. A well equipped kitchen where you may sit and have food or interaction with other travellers. Bright and very easy to get to.
- Asif (6/5): - I stayed in the hotel for one night as it was convenient for getting to the airport. The hotel is in a busy area and there are lots of shops nearby. I had to check in late and the staff were very helpful in giving me the access codes. There were a couple of issues that spoiled the stay: 1) The room had a fridge that emitted the most horrible noise every few minutes. I don't think any normal functioning fridge would make that sound, 2) I could hear other guests talking in the corridor in the middle of the night. It was a bit inconsiderate and I didn't get good sleep.
- Chamberlain (8/5): Very good - Clean and comfortably furnished room. Very quiet with good bed. Previous misleading reviews, other than carrying my bag up two floors the accommodation is all good.
- Evette (2/5): - Tv didn’t work dirty room
- Barrett (5/5): Didnt end up sleeping there.Partied all night -
- Kyah (8/5): Very good -
- Jessica (8/5): Overall great stay with friends, excellent location! - Great location, well presented room & comfortable bed. Just what we needed for a 2 x night stay in the city.
Easy to get around on foot with subway so close, shops, bars & restaurants Our room was facing the street so was quite noisy including garbage trucks & street sweepers in the early hours.
Would suggest ear plugs if you have a street facing room
- Shahni (10/5): - Close to city.
- Alan (10/5): - Could do with some hooks on en suite bathrooms and bedrooms to hang towels. Otherwise excellent with a kitchen for cooking .
- Matthieu (5/5): God for short 1 night stay - Easy to find The bathroom was tiny
- Anna (4/5): - Room was too hot, a fan is not AC. I believe the washroom in the 2nd floor wasn't maintained for 3 days, because for the last 2 days of my stay, we had no toilet paper or paper towel. It was my understanding the 2nd floor was for females only, but there was at least 3 men staying on this floor.
- Ronald (10/5): - Excellent Private Hotel. Very clean. Nice fully furnished kitchen. Friendly staff. Great location
- Ash (8/5): - Bit noisy as discovered it was more a backpackers/travellers establishment. Can't recall it being advertised as that but possibly missed it!!
- Peter (10/5): - Great location, very clean and helpful staff
- Richa (10/5): - Friendly staff
- Vân (9/5): Superb -
- Conor (9/5): Superb -
- Anne-Maree (8/5): - It was an ideal location close to transport to the locations I wanted to visit. It had all that I required in terms of the room at a price I could afford.
- Prad (6/5): Great location, value for money. - Great location, easy to get there by public transport. Lots of eateries in Darlinghurst and Kings cross. Value for the money and location. Aircon was good, bed and pillows were comfy. Bathroom was so tiny, I am 5'11 and 70 kilos, I found it too tight. If you are bigger in size, you will find it very difficult to move around. No power point near the bed, no bin in the room. Fridge and floor was dirty (see photos).
- Ting-wei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kate (10/5): - Very good, room neat and clean, excellent location.
- Anthony (10/5): - Perfect place for a quick trip to Sydney. Clean quiet and fantastic location. My new Sydney stay of choice.
- Hunia (8/5): Very good - Great location, check-in was easy, guy was really friendly and accommodating. Bathrooms were spacious and kept clean. Shower had a nook to place your body wash, shampoo and what not. Also had a seat with a hook to hang your towel. Bedroom has a TV, small fridge and a fan. I was unable to hear any noise from the neighbors so that was good.
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sarah (10/5): - clean and great location!
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennifer (6/5): - The property was in an excellent location for my visit to Sydney. I chose an individual room which was clean and the bedcomfortable. Toilets and showers were also clean and tidy. Close to great food options or the convenience of an inhouse kitchen.sh
- Cheryl (10/5): - I loved this property. The room was small, but great value for money in this location. We were only staying 1 night and just wanted a base. Easy walking to George Street and Circular Quay. Parking available close by. Two great cafes super close for breakfast.
