Staying at 28 Hotel was an absolute highlight of my Sydney trip. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Haymarket and Chinatown, making it easy to explore the city’s vibrant neighborhoods. Every morning from 7 AM, they offer fresh pastries and energy muesli bars in the lobby, plus free coffee and tea all day long—such a thoughtful touch! The staff went above and beyond: Angee helped us store our luggage before check-in and after checkout, which made our travel stress-free. Paola was also incredibly helpful, giving us clear directions and tips on public transport routes around Sydney. It’s rare to find such personalized service at this price point. For anyone looking for a cozy, well-located boutique stay with excellent value, this hotel is a must-try.

This 30-day backpacking trip across New Zealand and Australia included stays at numerous hotels, but Green Square Value Suites was by far the most satisfying. The location is unbeatable—just a quick turn from the train station exit, perfect for travelers arriving in an unfamiliar city. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the ability to store luggage was a game-changer, especially after long journeys or early check-ins. Breakfast was simple but thoughtful: croissants, oat bars, small cookies, coffee, and basic fruits like apples and oranges—nothing fancy, but enough to start the day right. Clean rooms, excellent value, and a great base for exploring Sydney. If you're traveling solo or on a budget, this place is a must-try.

It was such a joy coming back to Bondi Beach House and finding it freshly renovated with a stylish, modern touch.

Staying at Little Coogee Hotel was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The property is immaculately clean and well-maintained, with a great balance between privacy and community vibes. I stayed in a private room, which was cozy and spotless, but still had easy access to the shared kitchen—fully equipped, tidy, and perfect for grabbing a quick meal or cooking something up. The location is unbeatable: just a short walk from the beach and local cafes, making it ideal for exploring Sydney’s southern shores. Staff were welcoming and helpful without being overbearing. I only stayed two nights, but honestly, I could’ve easily extended my stay if time allowed. Highly recommend this gem for travelers who value comfort, cleanliness, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Staying at Hotel Bondi was an absolute delight! The room was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and had a lovely balcony with stunning views of the ocean—perfect for morning coffee or relaxing in the evening breeze. Located just one street away from the beach, it’s incredibly convenient for hitting the sand anytime. Public transport access is great, making it easy to explore Sydney without needing a car. The local dining scene is fantastic too—there’s a vibrant market right next door, and the restaurant downstairs serves some of the best steaks I’ve had on my trip. Rich flavor, perfectly cooked, and generous portions. Overall, Hotel Bondi delivers exceptional value, comfort, and location. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, this place truly makes your experience unforgettable.

I stumbled upon this place on Instagram and was instantly drawn to the botanical-inspired interior and overall vibe—had to book it! Since I wanted easy access to both downtown Sydney and Bondi Beach, this location was perfect. 😆 (That said, if you're not planning to visit the beach, this spot might not be ideal.) There’s a shopping mall nearby, so everything I needed was within reach—no inconvenience at all. I’m traveling solo, and accidentally left my key in the room when checking out. I was really stressed, but just rang the bell outside and the staff responded immediately—super helpful and kind. I felt bad since it was off-hours, but they still went out of their way to assist me. Thank you so much! 🥲 I’d absolutely stay here again if I ever come back to Sydney!

The MAD Monkey Hostel at Coogee Beach is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm welcome from Joke at reception sets the tone for a fantastic stay. She’s incredibly friendly, always smiling, and genuinely goes out of her way to help guests with anything they need—whether it’s local tips, transport advice, or just a quick chat. Her positive energy is contagious and makes you feel right at home. Honestly, every hostel should have someone like Joke on duty—she truly makes the experience unforgettable. The vibe is relaxed, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are top-notch. I can’t recommend this place enough—will definitely be back!

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.

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!

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.

Staying at Mrs Banks Hotel in Paddington was such a delightful experience. The location is perfect—quiet and cozy, yet just a short walk from the city center and all the local amenities. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit, making us feel right at home. The room was simple but clean and well-maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to unwind after a day exploring Sydney.

A hidden gem in a great neighborhood, highly recommend this place if you're looking for a relaxed, authentic vibe without sacrificing convenience.

Stayed at Sydney Park Hotel for two weekend visits in March 2024 while traveling to friends in the Blue Mountains, recommended by some locals who used to live in Sydney. Check-in was smooth and welcoming—staff seemed to know exactly why we were there (maybe it was the big suitcases?). We booked a King room for extra space, and loved the generous closet area and room for luggage. Over two stays, we were assigned different but similarly sized rooms—Room 3, a corner unit facing King Street/Logan Lane, and Room 4, which overlooked St Peters train station. Room 3 had great cross breezes when all three windows were open, though it did face a busy intersection with more street noise. Room 4 was just as spacious and slightly quieter, with a view of the train line. Both rooms offered a real sense of being in the heart of the city—traffic hum and train rumble clearly audible when windows were open. Thankfully, earplugs were provided in both rooms, which helped us sleep well despite the urban buzz. If you're very noise-sensitive, another hotel might be better suited. But for us, it wasn’t an issue. Transport couldn’t be easier—St Peters Station is literally across Lord Street, just a few meters from the entrance. For two people coming from SYD Airport, an Uber ($22 total) was actually cheaper than taking the train ($19 each). And bonus: direct bookings come with a nice discount, which is common now with independently operated hotels worldwide. Definitely worth contacting them directly via email or phone to beat any online rate. Overall, a solid choice for convenience, comfort, and value.
