Guest Reviews
- Gary (8/5): Pleasant - Bed bath & clean Small room
- Alan (8/5): Location perfect for the city. - No breakfast Only 2 English breakfast tea bags.
- Greg (6/5): Good location. - The cost of the accomodation and the comfort of the room Don't be close to the Gym as people start using weights just after 6am, so a bit noisy. The room also didn't have any coat hangers just hooks, which is a bit difficult when requiring a suit. Not a great view out of the window - just a wall.
- Shane (10/5): - An awesome hotel positioned nicely in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.Always stay here when l visit and always lovely 😊
- Anisha (10/5): Fantafabulous ! - The property is very close to CBD and convenient to get about. The room was clean and well maintained. Especially the bathrooms which I’m usually particular about was very clean and the bedroom was really comfortable. Staff was extremely hospitable and the overall stay was a great first experience. Would highly recommend to friends and family and would also visit again. Would be nice if the reception was a bit more inviting. While I was waiting for my cabs it would’ve been nice to have a seat. I also wished there was bedroom slippers and robes to get into after a long work day.
- Camilla (8/5): -
- Angelica (6/5): Perfect location, felt like someone was opening door while we napped anxiety - Location was great. Someone opened my door {staff } and then lied about opening another door when I opened it again to look outside, instead of apologies
- Jack (9/5): -
- Ann (6/5): Good location - Good central location within walking distance of most attractions. Clean but very small room with little space for luggage etc.
- NEELAM (10/5): -
- Federica (10/5): -
- Son (9/5): -
- Luecilla (8/5): -
- Mathew (8/5): We’ll be back - Close to everything Nothing
- Eduardo (10/5): - LA UBICACION CERCA DEL CENTRO, DE LA PEATONAL A 15 MIN CAMINANDO DELA OPERA . EXCELENTE.
- Rachel (8/5): -
- Peter (4/5): - Position Not value for money. At that price breakfast should be included
- Steve (8/5): -
- Elodie (8/5): - Mal insonorisé côté route
- Ruby (4/5): Passer kanskje backpacking, men prisen er altfor høy. - Beliggenheten Veldig lite og trangt rom uten garderobe og safe. Baderommet lignet et handicap bad, med spesialtilpasset wc og dusj. Veldig stygt og sterilt uten oppbevaring eller flisbelagt. Rommet ble betegnet som «Deluxe». Veldig ironisk.
- 凃凱茵 (8/5): 地點好,但房間老舊且小 - 飯店提供的早餐店拿鐵很好喝,飯店地理位置很好。 但是房間偏小,免強同時打開兩個行李箱,大樓有點老舊,晚上起床有看到蟑螂。
- Kristin (8/5): - Sehr gute Lage, vieles fussläufig erreichbar. Es war sehr sauber und das Zimmer hatte alles, was man für einen kurzen Aufenthalt braucht. Das Einzelzimmer ist wirklich sehr sehr klein, mit Koffer und Handgepäck im Zimmer kommt man kaum ums Bett ins Badezimmer. Aber wie gebucht: petit:) Koffer hinlegen geht nicht. Wenn man sich dessen bewusst ist: wirklich ein schönes und sauberes Stadthotel.
- Preeti (7/5): - The location was convenient to public transportation and very central. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, room size was as described in the listing. The gym equipment was also sufficient. Staff were friendly and helped quickly replace the bedside lamp that wasn't working. The air in room 608 was uncomfortably humid, despite setting the air-conditioner to dry mode. I would suggest that a de-humidifier be added. Additionally there is quite a large gap under the door. Aside from being a privacy/security concern, this also means hallway light and noise from both the open stairwell and the elevator just outside the room door can be disruptive during the night.
When I used the gym, the air-conditioning was not working, and it doesn't have windows for alternative ventilation.
- Michal (10/5): -
- Emily (8/5): -
- Jaime (8/5): - Beds are comfortable, the small couch and table are also handy to work and relax. The location is also ideal when using public transportation. The peep hole of the door has no cover. So the light of the corridor bleeds into the room. A microwave would also have been nice.
- Amy (8/5): -
- Segers (8/5): Worth the stay and highly advise couples looking for a two night stay, this js your affordable place - The room was small however for two people it worked out fine. Given we were out most of the time. By the time we spent time in the room and especially some quality time together the room suited our needs. The little seated area was fun to use and fun to chill in. If there could be more towels and possible some sports or movie channels.
- Mckay (10/5): Convenient, clean and easy to check in/out - Easy to check in and find. Brand new bathroom and beds. Clean and fresh room. Bed sheets didn’t fit properly. The bare matress was exposed at the end. No conditioner in the bathroom left.
- Marlene (9/5): - Sehr zentral gelegenes Hotel. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gute Ausstattung, ausreichend Platz und sauber. -
- Ann (8/5): -
- Ya chu (7/5): - The bath towel was not clean.
The accommodation didn't provide parking, nor did it offer any discounts. We ended up paying AUD 285 for parking for two nights, which was a terrible experience.
- Craig (1/5): Total scam -
- Jane (9/5): Very pleasant staff allowed us to check in early -
- Riley (4/5): For $235 Au a night. Shop around !!!! - I liked checking out and moving to another hotel Yes the room was a single bed , but that is all that could fit into the shoebox size room .
- Beverley (7/5): Clean, modern, central location, friendly staff. - Friendly staff & great central location for exploring Sydney CBD. Everything within walking distance! The room and facilities were very tidy and modern. Nice coffee machine in the room too, which was a bonus. I did find it a bit noisey on the Saturday night with the Pub nearby. Also I noticed the beds were not made properly when my room was "refreshed."
- JD (8/5): The room was very small but everything else was good. - Location, the staff and breakfast next door was good The room was VERY small especially with luggage and bags and nowhere to put them.
- Inglez-Mazzarella (8/5): - Da simpatia e eficiência dos funcionários Tamanho dos quarto e do desconforto do sofá cama
- Dominic (7/5): -
- Patrick13140 (8/5): Super contents, le côté humain de l'accueil - Gabriel à l'accueil qui a été exceptionnel et ses collègues aussi, nous avions choisi cet hôtel car il était prêt de l'appartement de notre fille, ce n'est pas un grand hôtel, pas de lobby, pas de restaurant, mais c'est calme du côté opposé à la rue Clarence et surtout, c'est trés bien placé et pas cher, propre et cela nous a convenu comme les petites attentions lors du séjour. le fait que les petits dej ne sont pas dispo dans l'hôtel et qu'il n'y ait pas de lobby digne de ce nom mais c'était le deal.
- Tom (9/5): - Central location, clean throughout, comfortable bed, quiet
- Beth (7/5): -
- Nicole (10/5): Amazing - Stunning bedroom, clean and tidy hotel. Very quiet
- Juliet (7/5): -
- Robyn (8/5): -
- Cathy (8/5): It was a quiet, comfortable stay well located to Sydney facilities. - I liked the proximity to the business meeting I was attending. It was also well located to shopping and eating facilities. Nothing to mention.
- Laura (9/5): -
- Simon (9/5): Staff were great on the desk - Clean room and location was great for my business appointments and nice bars opposite Some free milk in the fridge would have been nice
- Peter (10/5): - Centrally located. Hotel staff were very accomodating. Clean and comfortable. Would be glad to return.
- Hiu Tung (9/5): 好 - 員工很友善,酒店位置方便。健身室設備齊全。 沒有
- Carmel (8/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): Perfect spot to explore Sydney - Great hotel with really comfortable rooms and perfect location for exploring the city. I came as a solo female visitor and felt very safe. The shower took a long time to warm up but was fantastic once warm.
- Grace (10/5): -
- Laura (9/5): -
- van Duin (8/5): Central location for a Sydney stay - Great location and very friendly helpful staff. Also nice to have a coffee machine in the room. Room was quite small but sufficient for a short stay.
- Mel Yildirim (10/5): - All the bedding and furnitures were almost new and very clean and tidy,
Great location, heart of Sydney CBD, very close to everything. nothing

- Guest (5/5): Good location but I would not recommend - The staff were lovely and could not have been more helpful. The bathroom was a good size although lacked space for washbags/toiletries. The breakfast is provided at an adjoining cafe and is not the usual hotel buffet but limited menu. However, they had toast and eggs, which was all I needed so I was happy. The room was dusty, especially at higher level, for example the statement light fitting. The carpet was ragged but my room was a wheelchair room so that might account for it. The curtains are not blackout. When I arrived I had been allocated a top floor room lit by a rooflight with an inadequate blind. (I was moved to a larger room downstairs, which I was grateful for.) The bed was not comfortable and the pillows were hard. Outside the building looks poorly maintained with vegetation growing out of the walls and what looks like a boarded up shop front.
- Cheryl (10/5): Great stay in the Sydney CBD - The room was not overly big but it had all the comforts we needed - the bed was super comfy and the shower was awesome. We stayed on Level 5 and there was no noise so we were able to sleep exceptionally well. The location was perfect as it was easy walking to everything we needed to see and do in the CBD. Staff were really friendly and helpful. The positioning of the TV in relation to the bed made it difficult to watch comfortably but this would not deter us from staying again.
- Nicolaas (9/5): -
- Harry (7/5): Prima voor enkele dagen -
- Stefan (9/5): - Läget. De skriver på en skylt inne i badrummet att man kan spara på miljön genom att återanvända handdukarna. Jag hängde mina handdukar på hängena varje dag, men de byttes i alla fall mot nya. Dåligt.
- Majella (7/5): -
- Eun (8/5): -
- MarieLouise (10/5): Kommer mycket gärna tillbaka👍🥰 - Jättebra läge, fantastisk personal, rent och snyggt, kaffe och tee fanns tillgängligt på rummet. Ser fram emot när deras egen frukostservering öppnar
- Issha (7/5): -
- Heiko (9/5): gut erreichbares Stadthotel - Das Zimmer und das Bad waren geräumig. Im Kühlschrank konnte man die Utensilien fürs Frühstück deponieren, für die Kapselmaschine gab es kostenlose Kaffee-Kapseln. Die Lage war perfekt, um in der Innenstadt alle Ziele fußläufig zu erreichen. Die Metrostationen sind in unmittelbarer Nähe. Die "Rezeption" ist ein kleines Stehboard, an dem tagsüber immer jemand ansprechbar ist. Die Koffer konnte man am Abreisetag noch bis zum Nachmittag sicher deponieren. Es gab im Bad und auch im Zimmer nur wenige Möglichkeiten zum Aufhängen oder Abstellen von Gegenständen.
Das Fenster war verschlossen, trotzdem war die Straße zu hören, die Klimaanlage war relativ laut.
- Jeremy (7/5): -
- Helen (8/5): - Convenient location, with friendly staff who were able to assist when needed. Room had everything I needed for a short stay.
- Bronwyn (7/5): - Good location and nice comfortable clean room Breakfast was very plain and simple and not worth the price
- Christine (10/5): -
- Monique (8/5): Enjoyed our stay! - Clean bathroom, comfortable bed, coffee machine. Simple but good. Great location.
- patricia (10/5): - Ckean comfortable Could use more hooks, places to hang things. Coffee in lobby would be a great addition.
- Matthias Grziwa (2/5): Sehr enttäuscht. Abzocke. - Gute Lage. Zu Fuß ist viel erreichbar. Freundliches Personal. Extrem schmales Zimmer, sehr beengt (nur ca. 2 m breit und ca. 7m lang). Man kommt nur mit Verrenkungen ins Bett. Kein Schrank, kein Safe. Recht laut. Für solch ein erschreckend schlechtes Zimmer viel zu teuer. Keine Frühstücksmöglichkeit. Man muss noch zusätzlich Kreditkartengebühren bezahlen aber Barzahlung, um das zu umgehen, wird nicht akzeptiert.
- Caterina (8/5): Sydney - Muy centríco Un desastre con la limpieza, tenias que avisar varias veces al dia para que la limpiaran
- John (8/5): -
- Thyra (9/5): -
- steve (7/5): - Staff and location Super small room, but no real problem for 1.
- Fanggidae (10/5): - large spacious room all was above my expectations
- Linda (8/5): Location is good - Location No ice, noisy street at night
- Moni (9/5): Convenient, clean and quiet in the CBD - It was a very nice, clean, refurbished boutique hotel. Very quiet, didn't hear any other guests at all and the room was even bigger than I originally anticipated. For 2 people, it was amazing and very worth the deal we got by booking in advance. This is not so much on the property at all, but for me as a traveler I like to be a bit closer to the action. Don't get me wrong, The Clarence is still pretty close, but will requiring some walking around to get to the most convenient Train station.
- Jeni (7/5): - room 408 was small and no view but I was by myself and not in the room much so didn't really matter.
I was concerned that it was just beside the elevator when I arrived but didn't hear any noise from the elevator or hallway at all - it could use a door "snake"to block light and noise from the bottom of the dooor - I just rolled up a towel and put it there. The bed was very comfortable. Shower was good pressure and hot.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
- Stacey (6/5): Too small for the cost. - Clean, decor was nice. Staff friendly, central location. The rooms were tiny. No wardrobe or space to put your suitcase or in the bathroom for your toiletries. You had to walk sideways to get around the bed. Room is too small for two people especially for the cost. No onsite bar or cafe. Gym is very small.
- Christine (10/5): Clean . Excellent location . Seating very uncomfortable. - Location . Very uncomfortable seating in the room .
- Walden (10/5): -
- Brian (8/5): -
- sara (8/5): - Perfect location, very close to everything and public transport, plus many restaurants available in the area. The room (Superior Queen Room) was spacious enough, and the bed was comfortable. The staff was helpful and friendly. The windows are not very insulating, and in the morning the road gets noisy (we were on the 4th floor). The cleaning was subpar. There was a layer of dust on the legs of the bedside table and the daily cleaning was superficial. crumbs and clipped fingernails remained on the floors for days. The bathroom could use some more shelves/space for personal items
- Carina Gabriela (10/5): Perfekt für einen Städtetrip - Das Hotel hat eine perfekte Lage, nur 5-10 Minuten zu Fuss bis zum Zentrum (QVB, Hyde Park usw.) und etwa 20 Minuten zu Fuss bis zur Opera.
In der Nähe gibt es zahlreiche gute Restaurants und Bars. Die Mitarbeitern waren sehr hilfsbereit.
Das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet und bot alles, was man braucht.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden das Hotel jederzeit wieder buchen. - für uns war es super
- Susanne (8/5): Great place for short city stay. Convenient for all major attractions. - great location, clean with comfy beds. friendly staff. The airconditioning was quite noisy. Sounded like something was loose in the vent,

- Fabian (9/5): -
