Hotels in Sydney

"Clean and tidy, but a bit small, no wardrobe but with a small refrigerator. The service attitude is very good. There are windows and sunlight comes in. It is close to the road, and there is noise from the train tracks on the other side, but the double-layer soundproof glass is good and does not affect sleep at night."

"The location is excellent, and the renovated environment is very nice and clean. The window offers a view of the opera house, and the lobby is grand. However, the service is just average, to be frank. I particularly felt a hint of ******; they practically bend over backward for Western guests, but for Asians, it's just so-so. It's not that they actively make things difficult, but the difference in treatment is quite noticeable. Also, the shower and bathtub are combined, so it's probably best not to use the bathtub."

"Really enjoyed my stay here will definitely be coming back! Staff were lovely and we had some very quiet travellers which was awesome. I stayed in the mixed dorm and felt very safe and looked after. Would recommend to anyone staying in Sydney. Great location and comfy beds."

"Highly recommended hotel! The location is fantastic, just a 2-minute walk from Museum Station, which has direct train access to Sydney Airport. The surrounding bus routes can take you to almost all of Sydney's popular attractions. It's also about a 12-minute walk to Chinatown. There are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, and other shopping options nearby. The hotel itself has been renovated, so it's very clean and modern, and the staff are polite and friendly. While the breakfast selection was a bit limited, it's a minor point and doesn't detract from an overall excellent stay."

"I’ve stayed in many hostels before and understand you sometimes get what you pay for, but my stay at Wake Up! Sydney Central was disappointing. We booked a private room for three with a shared bathroom. The room had a strong “slept-in” smell which seemed to come from the actual pillows and bedding rather than the sheets. The shared bathrooms were also quite dirty, and during our five-day stay I only saw them cleaned once. The kitchen on the first floor is far too small for the number of guests. Fridges and cupboards were completely full, and with only a few cooktops, sinks and microwaves it’s very difficult to cook or find a place to eat. The hostel is very focused on partying, with events like pizza nights and free drinks in the kitchen area. It’s also quite noisy, with partying and heavy doors slamming day and night, so don’t expect much sleep. Considering how expensive Sydney is, this place still felt overpriced. The building is run down (cracked sinks), beds have thin mattresses, and we even saw a large cockroach one day. Staff simply said, “this is Australia.” There’s also no ramp at the entrance, so heavy luggage has to be carried up the stairs. The only real positive is the great location."

"The Shangri-La Hotel is our go-to for family trips. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, bright, and impeccably clean. The views are stunning, with the Sydney Opera House and the main cruise ship terminal visible, and it's within walking distance of many city attractions and shopping centers. The breakfast is rich, delicious, and tasty. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommended!"

"I booked a one-night stay at Metro Hotel Marlow Sydney Central at the last minute. For the price, both the location and the overall facilities were quite reasonable. While it was a short stay, I felt it was a solid enough choice to recommend to others looking for value in Sydney. However, there were a few areas that could be improved. The bathroom felt quite dated, and the shower taps were a bit difficult to use. Additionally, the toilet seat felt somewhat flimsy, and the toilet itself was quite old. The Wi-Fi connection was also unreliable, so I ended up having to use my phone’s hotspot to watch YouTube. Lastly, the soundproofing was a bit weak, and I could hear some noise from the surroundings. Despite these minor issues, I believe the price is very competitive for a night in Sydney. If these small things are addressed, it would be an even better place to stay."

"Great location, but I wasn't happy with the service. 1. They mixed up the names for luggage storage with the guest who checked in. 2. The Indian staff member who delivered the luggage had a bad attitude. 3. When I called for mineral water, the DND (Do Not Disturb) sign was already on, but the staff still knocked on the door. 4. I asked for two bottles of water and an ice bucket, but they gave me three bottles of water and no ice bucket. On the plus side, the city view from the higher floors is quite nice, and you can go shopping right downstairs. The atmosphere at Level 1, The Place, is also very comfortable."

"The service attitude was a bit lacking; they seemed indifferent. However, the ability to cook is a real plus, which is quite practical in Australia. This is my second stay here. Last time I stayed for 6 nights, and this time for 2. The value for money is pretty good, and transportation is very convenient, with both trains and buses easily accessible. If you don't mind their expressionless demeanor, this place is good. The amenities are very basic, but they offer free drinks and pastries in the morning."
