Guest Reviews

• Adou-Moise (4/5): - It was tidy once set up, the location was good (near shops). Insects such as cockroaches were in the rooms and bathroom. Check in time was only available very late (3pm). Communication was not very clear with the owner
• Ieuan (5/5): -
• Eamonn (10/5): - Comfe bed
• Arthur (7/5): -
• Jack (4/5): - Room was still being made 2 hours after the check in time and wasnt able to leave my luggage so had to take it with me until the room was ready. The balcony is shared so you have no privacy, most of the time it was used to hang other peoples washing up.
• Hull (9/5): Very friendly, clean and homely - Late booking finding this lovely clean and well equipped stay. Very good communication from the owner making it an ideal night before we travelled to Canberra
• fangzheng (10/5): -
• Jacqueline (7/5): -
• Jacqueline (6/5): Cleaners were lazy - Location Mould Dusty Bed linen was horrible
• Guest (9/5): Located in a quiet area with comfy beds. It is clean and tidy overall - Place so quiet and comfy bed. Good value for the money. I would be better if they use white towels coz it looks it will look more tidy and clean
• makerita (1/5): I only stay for few hours not comtable place After all our assignments we took off just after midni - No toilet paper No shower in the rooms for privacy So much messy in the laundry toilet and also disgusting in the toilet so dirty inside Money wasted I took some photos to discuss Blankets very old used
• Jacqueline (5/5): I think the above comments said it all - Location Dusty In the room drawers Cupboards Under the beds Under the bedside tables Bed linen were crinkled Not ironed the cushion covers were dirty as they smelt of sweat Kitchen bins were full and smelly Kitchen floor wasn’t cleaned Smell coming from the dishwasher and rubbish bins smelt real bad. Laundry linen not pegged therefore the linen would be on the ground and the balcony tiles were dirty. You say no children but there were children, even a baby so you advertise false information Or is it only for the selected ones? For your prices you charge and the false advertising I give your Guest House a 2
• Gregory (10/5): - The fantastic setup,and ease of booking as well as the professional management of Polly.
• Glenda (8/5): self catering and convenient accommodation while my home was being renovated - self catering and convenient accommodation while my home was being renovated nothing
• RENEE (8/5): - Location, price, cleanliness Shower- needs more pressure
• Andrew (9/5): - Needed a top sheet, rather than just a sooner cover
• Sitong (6/5): -
• Jacqueline (10/5): I’d definitely stay again - Very comfortable
• Jasmine (2/5): - This “guest house” is a one room with ensuite in a private house. Very strong smell of smoke throughout room. Bathroom/ shower not clean.
• Jacqueline (10/5): -
• A. Sanna (7/5): - The room was wonderful. All the facilities including the bathroom and the kitchen downstairs were top notch. The air con was not working at all. And there were too many cockroaches everywhere. Some of the other guests were pretty loud, closing doors loudly in the middle of the night, especially during weekends.
• Glenda (9/5): Very comfortable, the whole property is air conditioned and was good value. - The guest house is self catering and very quiet, offering a very large, light kitchen and the basic appliances required for meal preparation. There is a dining table that seats 6 people and a breakfast bar with 3 stools. Crockery, cutlery, pots etc. are provided plus a good size fridge & freezer with space clearly marked and allocated to each room. The rooms we had were ensuite and while the bathrooms were not huge they were well fitted out. Ample all day street parking is also a bonus. There is no television or lounge area for relaxing in. There are 2 armchairs and a small side table in the very large entry/foyer but that's all.
• Амаржаргал (10/5): -
• zahara (6/5): -
• Marion (9/5): - Tolle Küche! Super Waschmaschine und Trockner. Guter Kühlschrank. Schönes Badezimmer und super viele Schränke im Zimmer In der Küche kann man super schön sitzen. Die design der Bettwäsche war furchtbar und kein Fernseher.
• Sanjeev (10/5): Excellent Property, will book again on next visit. - Excellent Property with high end fixtures and appliances. Huge room size to accommodate family of 3 or more . Moreover Shared kitchen and Laundry was added advantage .
• Anonymous (3/5): Poor -
• Anonymous (10/5): Fsntastic! - Wonderful place, with very modern amenities and plenty of wardrobe room, big bathroom. Thank you!
• Jade (5/5): Looks great but could be kept cleaner - The property was decorated to a high standard and easy to reach by train or bus from Sydney central. There was lots of things provided such as toiletries, kitchen items and teabags. Our room wasn't cleaned properly/had stained sheets, when we arrived and took days to get sorted. Even then there were still lots of dust and hair on the floor. But we felt rushed out for them to clean on our final day when conveniently they couldn't clean before. I couldn't sleep the night we arrived properly because there was a strange strong smell. I assumed it was food smell from cooking in the kitchen but it seemed to linger for a few days. When it did go I assumed its because I got used to the smell so couldn't smell it anymore. Grains of rice on the floor in the communual kitchen were still there when we left. Showing the lack of detail to cleaning the accommodation.
• Vera (10/5): Everything was great. - Loved the big rooms No TV.
• Donna (7/5): Good - Nice kitchen, easy access. Balcony was not private and was used for all the laundry
• Muhammad (10/5): Overall good experience - Clean and quiet place No direct communication
• Sharon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pam (9/5): Quiet place to stay if you have an early flight - Very nice en-suite bathroom, great kitchen, property was easy to find and relatively close to the train station (about 800m), lots of power points, great lighting. Bed was a bit firm for our liking and towels could have been fluffier. Guests coming in just after midnight were inconsiderate and noisy, but quieted down in 5 min. We had a ground floor room which was good so we didn’t have to take our luggage upstairs. Definitely would stay here again.
• De (6/5): Pleasant -
• 陳 (5/5): I would not stay there or suggest friends to go. It's simply too expensive. - Service lady is good. Facilities are fine. Location is okay. The owner never turned up. No breakfast.Main door is badly designed. The code doesn't really work. Had to go through back door. Promised 2 beds, but there was only one. There was supposed to have a bath, but only shower.
• Hari (6/5): Pleasant -
• Monica (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jackson (7/5): Good -
• Savoia (6/5): Overall, we would stay again if the pillows are clean. - Location & free airport pick-up. The pillows smelled. The pillow cases were clean but the pillows themselves really need replaced.
• Keily (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tyson (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - Stunning guest house. Loved it!
• Jem (10/5): Love the chinese door and vibe. - Very comfortable and polly is great at communication and safe No tea (im being spoilt)
• Abdelhlim (9/5): Superb -
• Donald (5/5): Grossley over-rated and over-priced accommodation! - Comfy bed - that's all! "Queen Room with Balcony" - cluttered with other people's laundry on clotheslines outside the sliding glass windows! (see pics) Message from host for checkout instructions "Kindly leave me a 10 stars/good review if possible : ）" - really ??? "check-in is available after 2 pm." - room was note even ready by 3pm! Grossley over-rated and over-priced accommodation! Unmanaged property gardens! (see pic) Small bedroom and small shower! No Amenities except kettle and 2 glasses - no TV no fridge No tea/coffee/milk/sugar/biscuits which one would normally expect in any self-contained standard room! (see pic)
• Asif (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matt (9/5): Affordable, quiet and met my expectations. - Excellent and prompt communication and welcome from the owner. Comfortable and clean room. Location was in a quiet setting and loved the nearby park for my early morning walk. Nothing to fault. Definitely recommend and keen to book in the future.
• Princess (8/5): Very good -
• Sah (8/5): Very good - A quiet place to crash after impromptu trip for medical reasons Room was up flight of stairs (we made do for the few hours we were there)
• Lolesio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julia (5/5): Disappointed but improvements could be made with just a few changes - Big room Room not ready on time. Used previously owned toiletries left in the shower 🙁. Single quilt on a double bed. No matching bed linen. Could of been a little cleaner, cockroach in the room. Used the airer and the clothes got dirty as it had not been cleaned for a long time. Not enough cups glasses or kitchen items. We are guessing this is a new business and just needs to be a little more aware of how to run a guesthouse. It could be a brilliant business. Seems more focused on gadgets than the guest. We had road works outside we were not advised about who were working after 10pm at night.
• Jihyang (3/5): Bad - I was satisfied with the fact that I could use the washing machine and dryer and the overall quiet atmosphere. As soon as I entered the room, I saw three flies. I think they came in through the window that was open while I was ventilating. And there was a strange smell from the bed and pillow. What was even more shocking was that I found toilet paper in the toilet. This was my worst accommodation.
• Graeme (9/5): Great location, quiet area in the middle of suburbia and plenty of food and 'features' nearby. - No breakfast but all the facilities to make your own. Nothing needed to be better.
• Md (7/5): It’s good option. - The property is good and spacious. There were some flies coming in from the balcony into the room. I hope the host take care of this so that the guests relaxation doesn’t gets disrupted. And, one more thing to add. For the room with private bathroom, it’s always better to have one time toiletries instead of providing used or existing half bottled stuff. The cap of the existing bottle was broken and I didn’t feel comfortable to use them during the shower. Hence, please provide one time disposable shampoo, body wash in the private ensuites. The rest is good. Thanks.
• Abdelhlim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tony (7/5): Good - The apartment/room was modern.Our Host was nice and helpful When we arrived there were others in our room.We couldn't get in as they had our room key.They came back and removed their belongings.We had to wait until they came back with the key.After a long day travels it was a bit annoying. The owner did contact us to apologize which was nice.
• Dylan (1/5): Arrive before midnight called all the numbers no doors are unlocked. None of the code worked none of the itinerary worke - Arrive before midnight called all the numbers no doors are unlocked. None of the code worked none of the itinerary worked was freezing cold called Booking.com numerous times. They even promised to get me new accommodation and a full refund. Still haven’t received any.

• Zoe (10/5): I spent a lovely week here and would highly recommend, - Spacious and beautifully designed property with all mod cons and full kitchen/laundry amenities provided. Located a quiet street next to a park and close to bus and train routes. One of the nicest guest houses I have stayed in and run by a very nice host. No complaints at all.
• Muhamed (2/5): Very poor -
• Roslyn (7/5): Adequate for our purpose. - The room was clean The linen was old & tired. Kitchen, whilst glad to have facility wasn’t very clean. Very basic kitchen items supplied. Fridge dirty.
• Cindy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Safet (8/5): Very good -
• Sharif (10/5): Feel like home stay - Kitchen Backyard
• Rebecca (10/5): Exceptional - We loved everything about Penshurst Guest House. The entrance was inviting. The kitchen very functional. Our bedroom and bathroom warm and inviting.
• Gaby (10/5): Comfortable and quiet - I needed a quiet place to spend the night, and it was exactly what I needed. Clean, easy, quiet, comfortable
• Marc (10/5): Very comfortable place, efficient check in even after late night flight arrival we could still get in and get some rest. - Spacious and clean, easy access
• Evan (10/5): 10/10 Value for money. AMAZING - Amazing stay, one thing I like above any other place is the massive kitchen area that we can use instead of buying takeout every night. Stayed for 3 weeks, everyone was respectful and kept to them selves kitchen and laundry were always available. Couldn’t recommend any other place 10/10 value. This is my first choice for anyone staying Sydney short or midterm stay 😀
• Shae (5/5): Besides the aircon situation, we had a nice stay & very friendly owners. - Beautiful home, very clean Unfortunately air conditioner wasn’t working but the owners did send someone to fix it but still couldn’t be fixed. No fans
• Stacey (8/5): Very good -
• Scott (6/5): Pleasant - Clean , well furnished room. Good location and lots of free stree parking. The exclusive private bathroom is not in the room. It is separately located downstairs for our room which makes it inconvenient to shower and toilet , and this was not what we had expected. The shower room was clean , modern and spacious. However there was no plug in the bath tub and no shower curtains and it made the floor really wet after shower. The description on the website did not match what we got. Also they rang us at midnight to tell you we didn't choose the right number of guests so we had to pay extra $30 just because we brought our toddler son ( 2 year old) with us. This is not very accommodating as far as the guest house goes. This situation never happened to us before. They always allowed us to have our toddler son stay in the room with us no matter it was a hotel or a guest house without extra charge.
