Hotel Diplomat
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel with no major issues whatsoever. The location is excellent—right in the heart of the action, surrounded by great cafes, restaurants, and shops. I loved how easy it was to get around, especially using public transit to explore Sydney. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with any request. One standout feature was the Goki app—it worked flawlessly for check-in and room access, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Clean rooms, great amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere made this a truly enjoyable experience. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back in Sydney.
Perouse Randwick by Sydney Lodges
We arrived earlier than check-in time and the front desk staff was incredibly welcoming. Knowing we just came from the airport, they immediately checked room availability and managed to let us settle in early—so convenient! The night-time door security system with enhanced locking is a big plus for peace of mind. Overall, the service was exceptional, the atmosphere was warm and secure, and the value for money was outstanding. Definitely a place I’d return to on future visits.
High Cross Randwick by Sydney Lodges
I will never stay anywhere else again! From the moment I arrived, everything about this place felt perfect. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from public transit and surrounded by great restaurants, cafes, and shops. The room was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully furnished with all the essentials. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. What really stood out was the staff—they were friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to make my stay memorable. It’s not just a hotel; it’s a home away from home. For anyone visiting Sydney, this is the top choice. I’ll be coming back without hesitation.
Avoca Randwick by Sydney Lodges
Highly recommend Avoca Randwick for anyone visiting Sydney. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the hospital and right on the main street, where you’ll find an amazing variety of dining options. The room was recently renovated and spotless, with modern touches that make it feel fresh and welcoming. I especially appreciated the shared kitchen and laundry facilities—everything you’d need, even small things like spices and cleaning supplies, are provided. What really stood out was the thoughtful gesture from the cleaner who stayed behind to vacuum after my daughter accidentally spilled something. It’s these little details that make such a big difference. I’d definitely stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to friends or family.
No9 Springfield
Staying at No9 Springfield was an absolute breeze thanks to its incredible proximity to the metro station. Just a short walk away, I could easily access all parts of Sydney without any hassle. The location is quiet and secure, yet still within reach of everything you need. The 24-hour front desk added to the peace of mind, making it perfect for both business trips and leisure travel. Great value for money, and I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for convenience and comfort in Sydney.
Orange Stay Apartments Potts Point
Staying at Orange Stay Apartments Potts Point was a solid choice, especially for the location. The building is just steps away from King Cross Metro station, with a bus stop right outside—perfect for getting around Sydney. The area itself is vibrant, packed with diverse restaurants, local markets, and shops, making daily life super convenient. The apartment had a smart access system with magnetic key cards for both the main door and elevator. We were in a two-bedroom unit: the larger bedroom had a built-in wardrobe and a private balcony—great for relaxing. However, the second bedroom wasn’t ideal; it was separated from the living area by a partial wall that didn’t reach the ceiling, and there was only one narrow shelf for clothes. Plus, it faced a very noisy street, so we had to keep the window closed most of the time. The open-plan living-dining area included a full kitchenette, and the bathroom came with a shower. Wi-Fi was strong and reliable. Cleaning was done weekly, and while not daily, they provided essentials like toiletries, dish soap, and laundry detergent. Since there’s no front desk, we coordinated our check-in time directly with the onsite manager who gave us his contact number. For checkout, we simply left the keys inside the unit and walked out—no hassle at all. The rate was the highest among all my accommodations in Australia, but considering Sydney’s premium pricing and prime location, it felt justified. Overall, I’d recommend this place if you value convenience, great transport links, and a central base in a lively neighborhood.
Meriton Suites Coward Street
Staying here was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from Mascot Station and multiple bus stops, making it super easy to explore Sydney or head to the airport. My room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with modern touches throughout. I loved the king-sized bed—it was incredibly comfortable, and the rain shower in the bathroom was a real treat after a long day. The staff at the front desk were genuinely friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. It’s clear they take pride in their service. For a seamless, convenient, and relaxing stay in Sydney, this place really delivers. Highly recommend!
202 Elizabeth
Staying at 202 Elizabeth Hotel was a delightful experience from start to finish. The room was spotlessly clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed—perfect for a comfortable stay without feeling cramped. Located just steps away from the metro station, getting around Sydney was incredibly convenient, whether heading to the CBD, Opera House, or Harbour Bridge. The staff went above and beyond with friendly, genuine service—always ready to help with local tips or recommendations. It’s clear this place values guest comfort and satisfaction.

The Sebel Quay West Suites Sydney
Staying at The Sebel Quay West Suites Sydney was an absolute highlight of my trip to Sydney. The views from the room were breathtaking—direct sightlines to the harbor and the iconic Opera House, especially stunning during sunset. The apartment-style rooms are spacious and well-designed, perfect for families or longer stays. I appreciated having a washing machine in the unit, which made packing light much easier. Location-wise, it's unbeatable—just a short walk to the city center, the Opera House, and Harbour Bridge. It truly lives up to the dream of what Sydney should be. The only minor downside is the parking cost, which can be quite high if you're not careful—make sure you don't accidentally enter Wilson Parking, as rates there can add up quickly. Overall, the experience was excellent, and with such a prime location and great amenities, the value still shines through. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Sydney.
Barrys Beach Road Hotel
Staying at Barry's Beach Road Hotel was an absolute delight. The room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with a spacious balcony offering breathtaking views of the ocean—perfect for morning coffee or watching the sunset. Located just one street away from the beach, it’s ideal for those who love easy access to the water without sacrificing comfort. The surrounding area is vibrant and convenient: right next door is a lively local market where you can grab fresh produce, snacks, and unique souvenirs. I especially loved the steak at a nearby restaurant—rich, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Everything is within walking distance, and public transport links to the city center are super easy. This hotel strikes the perfect balance between seaside tranquility and urban accessibility. Highly recommend for travelers seeking both relaxation and convenience.
