Hotels Near Boden Reserve in Sydney

Positives - Easily accessible bus stop right out front - ID and card details to check in so no annoying bond held - EXCEPTIONAL customer service!! The lady at check in was so warm and welcoming and made me feel like a valued guest which is so refreshing as having stayed in many budget price point accommodations over the years great customer service is definitely not the norm so I thank them greatly for that. - Excellent price point paid $85 for the night - Great standard of cleaning - Quiet - Microwave available in common area Negatives - The plastic stool was very short and uncomfortable. - No tea bags or anything in the room, says all removed due to COVID prevention but doesn’t really make sense considering everything e.g. soap bars, bed sheets, are all going to be handled and put in the room so how individually packaged coffee/tea is higher risk I don’t understand.

If you want a room small enough to swing a cat, this is the hotel for you. If you want a hotel where you just need a bed because you are seeing live sport or concerts, this hotel is also for you! More basic than basic but the bed is soft and the shower hot. What more do you need? The curtain to separate the bedroom from the ‘bathroom’ is an interesting touch. Additional pillow and towels wouldn’t go astray.

We came here for the Backstreet Boys concert, and it was a very busy weekend with Harry Styles also on at the other arena. The checkin was seamless, we had prepaid with Qantas hotels and then just paid our parking directly to the hotel as we had self parked underneath the hotel. Parking entrance was monitored and checked against booking name due to the large events, so well done on the hotels as the parking is shared with the novotel across the road also with limited parking spots available. The room has everything you need, was clean and well maintained, bathroom immaculate. Kettle and fridge with huge amount of floor space. We didn't get to spend much time in the room as we were there for an event, but the bed was fantastic. Staff helped with all enquires, no problem. So close to concert venues, and we ubered to homebush DFO to kill time before check in.

We were in Sydney on business and stayed one night at the Ibis. Despite being Accor Hotel Members we were given the most basic of rooms. Generally the rooms are very dated in need of complete renovation. The floor of the room was uneven with a huge concrete bump under the carpet at the doorway of the bathroom! It is a trip hazard and very unsightly. The room was clean and so was the bathroom. The room was very small though and we would have appreciated a bit more room. The windows opened which was great for fresh air was but hoons doing burnouts on the road below during the night forced us to keep them closed unfortunately. The bed was super comfy. The Brasserie was nice with a limited menu but the waiter forgot to give us a side dish for our main meal. Breakfast was fairly expensive for plain continental (no hot food) breakfast. The waitstaff were friendly. The lady who checked us out was very friendly and happy to have a chat.

Located in the heart of the Olympic Park, the hotel is 50 meters from the T7 rail line station and is very convenient for travel. Hotel facilities are relatively complete, the overall service is higher. The parking lot costs $40 per day for capping, not very cheap. There are more fast food and restaurants downstairs, and eating is still very convenient. There is a large drug store near the T7 station, and there are many things.

Except that the wifi is too slow, there is no microwave, the bathroom sink is too small, and washing is not too convenient, the other is OK. It was a high-quality hotel that could be booked at that time.

We had a dinner nearby, and lucked in this hotel. Not sure it is a new building or completely refurbished, but everything bright and shiny. Underground car park entrance from rear lane way. Can’t reserve, but called ahead and was assured low residency. Park in the first one you see, hard to turn around if you go to the bottom. Room was good, as expected. Marble flooring was cold, bring thick socks. $10 for pre-booked breakfast for two is great value - gives a limited bit very good menu and a hot drink each. Friday night ground floor restaurant was busy and loud music. Not a quiet lounge. Didn’t try the rooftop bar. Room x01 was that the back of the hotel, with unexpected views from Chatswood, North Sydney, the Bridge, and the City.

You’ll want to read this, its GREAT!!! My partner and I checked into the Greenacre Hotel on November 24th. After checking in, the desk clerk brought us to the entrance of the hotel building and handed us our room card keys. He then said to us “ The bathrooms are located down the hall outside of your room so don’t leave your room without your cards. You also need them to get into the building so make sure to always have your card on you. I don’t want to receive a call in the middle of the night that you’re locked out of your room”. Totally reasonable , I can understand how that could be frustrating. Many people, throughout the night, forgot their cards in their rooms. How do I know this? They body checked themselves against their door screaming “ let me in”. That wasn’t even the bad part. That I could put up with. The next day, my partner and I woke up early because we had an International Flight to catch. My partner went downstairs to load the car and then I followed about 10 minutes later. When I came outside the building, my partner shouted something at me but it was to late. The door to the building shut behind me. What my partner yelled at me was “ Don’t let the door close, the card isn’t working”. When I tried my card on the door, it just beeped and flashed red. I tried my partners card, the same thing happened. We were locked out and we had to return our rental car within the hour and catch our flight. I immediately called the desk clerk/manager. I told him what happened and his response was “ What do you want me to do, I’m in bed”……..well here’s an idea for you, GET OUT OF BED!!!!!!! I WAS FURIOUS!!! We had both of our cards and it was nowhere near checkout time!!! What kind of response is that, here’s the correct response: “ Oh my goodness, I am so sorry sir. I am currently unavailable but I will send someone there to open the door. Again I cannot apologize enough, this is totally unacceptable. Please send me an email at your earliest convenience and I will provide some kind of compensation, this is truly unacceptable. There will be someone there within the next half hour. Here’s my personal number in case he doesn’t show.” But of course that was not his response. After a bit of arguing, he let me know that someone was going to be opening up the bar downstairs within the next half hour. So, we waited. After a half hour, a gentlemen did show up and I have to give him praise. He moved with urgency and at the end of the day got us back into the building and we made our flight. I still can’t get over “ I’m in bed” , what is that! I’ve worked in the tourism industry for 5 years and this whole experience was just totally unprofessional. I’m looking forward to your response.

This stay was very satisfying! The room is clean, bright, fully equipped and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful, and are always ready to address our needs. The location is excellent, the transportation is convenient, and there are many food and attractions nearby. I felt like I was at home during my stay. I will definitely choose to stay here again next time. Highly recommended!

We stayed in a family room prior to a game at the Olympic Stadium. The facilities were dated but clean. Unfortunately, though, our room smelled quite strongly of cigarette smoke. Our room faced Paramatta Road, so it was noisy and bright, but the block out blinds help a bit. The shared bathrooms were OK. There is one room for the women that has a toilet, shower, and sink. The other option is an area with 2 toilet stalls and a shower over tub with no walls or curtain and a window that's permanently open, so I imagine that would be cold in the winter.
