Hotel Hacienda
The property requires a foreign-issued credit card for the security deposit, which didn't work with my domestic China Bank savings card—despite having a branch in Australia, the cards aren't interchangeable. That said, the overall atmosphere and quality are impressive. It feels like a mid-range hotel you'd find in a Chinese county town for around $100 or a first-tier city hotel priced at $200, but with noticeably better amenities and a more refined ambiance. The location is convenient, close to public transit with easy access to the city center. Great value for money and definitely worth staying at if you're looking for comfort without overspending.
The Erko Hotel
Staying at The Erko Hotel was a pleasant surprise! Located right above a lively bar, it’s perfect if you enjoy a vibrant atmosphere and don’t mind being close to the action. The room was spotless and well-maintained—no private bathroom, but the shared facilities were clean, modern, and well-kept. What stood out most was the front desk, which doubles as the bar counter—staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. When I mentioned needing an extra blanket and a stool, they delivered both within minutes. No hassle, no delays. Great location, excellent service, and a unique vibe that makes it feel like a local favorite. Definitely worth a stay if you're looking for something different in Sydney.
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!
Sydney Park Hotel
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.
Ibis Budget St Peters
I chose a ground-floor room because I wanted air conditioning, but the space was quite compact and the view from the curtains just showed the parking lot—definitely not ideal. This is the first Ibis Budget property I’ve stayed at where the experience felt underwhelming. The toilet didn’t have a lid, the shower area lacked proper ventilation so it stayed damp after use, and water pressure was extremely low—taking a shower felt like waiting for a trickle. Also, the bathroom faucet made an annoying high-pitched noise as soon as it was turned on. While the location is convenient for public transport, these issues really dragged down the overall value. It’s disappointing for a brand that usually offers solid basics. Not something I’d book again without significant improvements.
Atelier Serviced Apartments
I was in need of a last-minute place to stay for the night, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with my choice. Atelier Serviced Apartments is perfectly located—just a short walk from the city center and close to public transit, making it easy to explore Sydney without hassle. The apartment itself is compact but thoughtfully designed, with a cozy, modern vibe that feels welcoming. The bed was super comfortable, and the kitchenette has everything you’d need for a quick meal or coffee. It’s rare to find such a well-priced, stylish, and convenient option in a busy city like Sydney. I’ll definitely be booking here again on my next visit—highly recommend!
Little Drifter Surry Hills
The stay was excellent overall—great location, just a short walk to public transit and surrounded by great dining options. The only downside was when I returned from an outing, I found my room had been changed without my consent. Apparently, a tour group staff member rearranged my booking behind the scenes, which felt intrusive and frustrating. Communication could definitely be improved—guests should always be consulted before any changes are made. Despite this hiccup, the property is well-maintained, welcoming, and offers fantastic value for money. Would definitely recommend it to travelers looking for a comfortable, central base in Surry Hills.
Meriton Suites Waterloo
Staying at Meriton Suites Waterloo was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the city center and minutes away from major transport links, making it super convenient for both business and leisure travel. The apartment-style room was spacious, modern, and well-equipped with a fully functional kitchenette, which made cooking meals on-site a real treat. I felt like a local VIP the moment I stepped in—the ambiance, cleanliness, and attention to detail truly set this place apart. While housekeeping comes every three days (which is standard for serviced apartments), the space remained spotless throughout my stay, so I didn’t mind at all. Honestly, I came here stressed and working hard, but the peaceful environment actually helped me feel better—my cold cleared up faster than expected! If you're looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury without the hefty price tag, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended for professionals and travelers who value quality and space.
Best Western Plus Camperdown Suites
I arrived late at night and was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's exceptional service. I simply called the front desk, and someone came down promptly to assist with check-in—no waiting, no hassle. The staff were friendly, professional, and made me feel welcome right away. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a great bed that ensured a restful night’s sleep. Located just minutes from the city center, it’s super convenient for exploring Sydney. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations—great value, excellent hospitality, and a very relaxing stay. I’ll definitely be returning.
Secret Garden Backpackers
I stayed at Secret Garden Backpackers for a total of 2.5 months, rotating through three different rooms—each experience was consistently positive. The rooms were clean and generally tidy, though cleanliness did depend on the roommates. Daily housekeeping was reliable, and getting fresh bed linens was never an issue. Even during intense heatwaves without air conditioning, the temperature remained comfortable—never too hot or too cold. Common areas were spotless, with staff cleaning multiple times a day. You’d always see them sweeping, mopping, or wiping down surfaces, which made the hostel feel incredibly hygienic and well-maintained. The highlight? The Secret Garden. It’s not just a garden—it’s a sanctuary. Whether I was having breakfast, reading a book, or just relaxing, this peaceful outdoor space made hostel living enjoyable and bearable. The kitchen is fully equipped with free tea and coffee, microwaves, toasters, and more. The only downside? A few stoves didn’t work, but that’s a minor issue considering how well the rest of the kitchen is kept. Showers have been upgraded recently—new ones with strong water pressure—so I highly recommend using the ones near the staircases instead of those by the garden. They’re clean, fresh, and satisfying. Staff are friendly, professional, and always willing to help with local tips or activity suggestions. What really stood out compared to other hostels? The clear expectations around hygiene and cleanliness. They don’t hesitate to kindly remind guests to tidy up their space—always in a respectful, non-confrontational way. That kind of accountability makes a huge difference. This hostel isn’t just good—it’s one of the best I’ve ever stayed at across many cities. Highly recommended.
Crown Hotel Surry Hills
Staying at Crown Hotel Surry Hills was an absolute highlight of my Sydney trip. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Surry Hills, steps away from great cafes, restaurants, and shopping spots. The hotel itself has a warm, welcoming vibe with friendly staff who go above and beyond. My room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed—perfect for a relaxing night’s sleep. I loved the on-site pub: drinks were affordable, the food was delicious, and the staff made me feel right at home. Plus, guests get a free drink upon booking and 10% off meals—great value! There’s also a breakfast nook where you can brew your own coffee or tea and enjoy cereal. It’s clear this place cares about guest experience. If you’re visiting Sydney, don’t miss this gem—it’s highly recommended!
Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Surry Hills
Staying at the Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Surry Hills was an excellent experience overall. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from Central Station, making it super convenient for getting around Sydney. Surry Hills itself is such a stylish and vibrant neighborhood, full of charm and great cafes and boutiques nearby. I arrived early in the morning, but there was strong wind outside, which made me a little anxious about checking in. However, the manager went above and beyond by offering us an early check-in—thank you so much for that thoughtful gesture! The apartment was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with all the comforts I needed. It’s clear the hotel values guest comfort and service. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney.
