Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Inexpensive well located.
Was well equipped except for bathroom shelf,
Looked after me well, especially when I left my Kindle behind.
- Yee (6/5): Reasonable comfort but beware of noise - Neat room without much fuss. Reasonable for the price. One disturbing matter was across the road from us on a friday morning at 630am there were sounds of piling and jack hammering !! No airconditioning hence window need to be opened but thats' where one can easily hear traffic sound.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Summer heat and no A/C? - I stayed in this off-campus housing choice for four nights as I waited to move into my University of Sydney housing. It was OK and felt somewhat run-down and smaller than I'd imagined. The most disappointing thing was that there was no A/C, and with it being 80-90 with 75%+ humidity, I did not sleep well at night.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Dripping tap, no bin, awful pillow, tap water came out cloudy.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Location, security quiet of this place all excellent. Bed nice and straight and if they improve mattress - that would be good. People most helpful and friendly. close to shops and funky Newtown but quiet in spite of busy road nearby. Outdoor area under trees a nice bonus.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Traffic noise from carillon Avenue terrible, we were unable to sleep. Would not use this accommodation again.
- Lily (4/5): - Reminded me of a prison cell. Dirty marks where things had obviously splashed on walls and not been wiped off. Cheap, but not cheap enough for the room.
- Verified traveler (6/5): You get what you pay for. - This is not a bad option in a very expensive city.
The village is a pleasant location away from the noise of Newtown streets, but close to restaurants, and about a 10 min walk to the local swimming pool. Lack of air-con is a minus in hot Sydney. There is a games and tv room in a nearby part of the village, which is OK.
It is a bit of a hassle to find reception from Carrillon Avenue - stairs and poor signage - and there is a longish wait as all customers are booked in and taken to their rooms in different parts of the village by the only person at reception.
Although the website says reception is shut after business hours, there was someone available by phone 24 hrs.
- Conor (6/5): - Reception closed at 6.50pm when trying to check on. Reception closed when trying to check out at 8am. Room nice enough.
- Lloyd (8/5): Great location at a reasonable rate - Well located close to Newtown and the University of Sydney. Modern building. Fan cooled room still a bit hot in the heat wave. Plenty of tea bags in room but no coffee packets which I found a bit odd.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Mostly OK but with some housekeeping issues - In the middle of summer in a heatwave...mosquitoes. I got about two hours sleep.
- Verified traveler (6/5): No ceiling fan or air con - It was OK for its price for just one night. The linen appeared to have been slept by someone else, by the look of wrinkles and marks. Was disappointed that there was neither a ceiling fan or air con on a hot summer day of over 40 degrees.
- Alex (8/5): Decent but no aircon - Dorm style rooms associated with Sydney Uni.
Younger crowd around and located in an excellent spot, but could get noisy (a few busy roads nearby etc) and the kickers for me - no air conditioning, no iron in the room. So at a cooler time of year, could be OK but if it's hot - probably a miss.
Staff super friendly too.
- Reza (6/5): - After the confusion at the beginning, they tried to help and solve the issue. So make sure you retrain the expedia booking confirmation and present it at the reception. I was offered an upgrade, and I received a follow up phone call about the incident. The staff at the reception were friendly, but they are not hospitality professionals. I think you should take it into account that you are choosing a student accommodation. So I hadn't expected a hotel and I am not unhappy after my stay.
- Danni (2/5): Extremely basic & dirty. - Arrived to find the bathroom was in desperate need of a clean. Grime & filth in the shower & basin. Toilet with marks & floaties! Disgusting. Fortunately staff moved us to another room. It was cleaner but still not what you expect at a hotel.
I know this is student accommodation but you expect cleanliness when you’re paying $130 a night. Odd smell in hallway & room.
Pillows were paperthin & matress was uncomfortable.
The only saving grace was the helpful staff however I will never stay here again.
- Mark (8/5): Good budget type accommodation, - Handy to city, Newtown, university. Parking was available. Location was quiet. Room was a decent size with wardrobe and writing desk.
- jo (6/5): Cheap stay - The fan was broken and it was hot in the room and it smelt like something had died although the kitchen was clean.
There was a cockroach in my room.
The bed was quite comfy and the linen was clean.
- Libby (2/5): If you're not a student don't stay here - The room I was allocated was within a 5 bedroom apartment that I had to share with other people I did not know. The kitchen and bathroom were filthy with old soap in the shower and rubbish in the bins. The accommodation was very noisy with late night partying outside my window. All the is accommodation is totally unsuitable for anyone travelling for business that needs a good nights sleep.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Quick stay in Sydney - I love staying on campus and reliving student days. Room had ensuite bathroom and a fan. Air con would have been nice on hottest day of summer but not necessary most of the year. Close to Newtown and all the food and funky shops there. Great cheap place to stay overnight when a room is available.
- Ilan (10/5): Functional - Functional
